  Falcon Wing Door Alignment, Model X Door Ultrasonic Sensor, FWD (Falcon Wing Door) Latch Failure, Door Ghost Obstruction, Pinch Sensor Malfunction, Diagnostic Overview The System: The Tesla Model X Falcon Wing Doors (FWD) are complex robotic systems featuring dual-hinges (primary and secondary), electric actuators, and a suite of "hidden" ultrasonic sensors located behind the door's skin. The Problem: Failures range from "ghosting" (the door stops moving because it thinks an object is in the way) to physical misalignment where the door rubs against the roof glass or "falcon wing" seals. Common Failure Points Ultrasonic Sensor (USS) "Blindness": These sensors use sound waves to "see" through the aluminum door skin. If the adhesive holding the sensor to the inside of the door fails, the sensor sags, causing the door to detect a permanent "ghost" obstruction and refuse to open or close. Latch Actuator Failure: The low...
