When Model X detects a low ceiling, it opens
the falcon wing doors (and trunk) to a lower
height, even if no obstacle is detected. If you
override this height on the touchscreen, Model
X remembers your choice from your location.
The next time you open the falcon wing doors
in this location, Model X opens them to the
height you saved.Warning: Applying adhesive products
such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating,
etc. on the outside of the falcon wing
doors can
affect the sensors
