Has Tesla incapacitated a portion of
the article discovery components of the bird of prey wing or gulling entryways
on the Tesla Model X hybrid? A proprietor has posted a progression of YouTube
recordings of the entryway on a Model X perfectly hacking into equal parts a
progression of cucumber. This on an auto that obviously had the current week's
product discharge 7.1 2.32.100 downloaded naturally to his auto.
Tesla
more, than some other automaker has utilized programmed, over-the-air
programming upgrades. It's advantageous for proprietors. It gets upgrades and
bug fixes introduced far quicker than an excursion to the merchant. This might
be hyper-helpful if – if – somebody hacks an auto and an automaker needs to
convey a fix promptly. It likewise could change or cripple a well being
highlight in ways a proprietor dislike, was he or she allowed to find out about
the change.
Gullwing / falcon wing doors are historically problematic
Throughout the
decades, auto entryways that swing open with the depend on top have been a test
to keep adjusted and simple to close. A gullwing entryway, as on the DeLorean
(see "Back to the Future"), is a solitary piece entryway. Tesla's
variation, which it calls a bird of prey wing, has a second pivot isolating
upper and lower parts, permitting it to open in tight spaces. It additionally
implies more segments to adjust, and realign when they quit working
appropriately.
The Tesla Model
X has the bird of prey wing entryways giving access to the center and back
seating lines, and more conventional "self-showing" entryways in
front.
Model X
proprietors have griped about arrangement and shutting issues with the bird of
prey wing entryways. Now and again the entryway won't close, evidently on the
grounds that one of the different sensor sets thought something is standing
out, what's known as an apparition object discovery. What's more, proprietors
were worried that the underlying setup of the remote key dandy could open or
close all entryways with a solitary, incidental, catch press.
Multiple changes in the recent software update
Listening to
criticism from Tesla proprietors, Tesla naturally sent an over the air redesign
this week that was consequently downloaded and introduced. It tended to the
inadvertant auto-open or - close issue with the key dandy.
Be that as it
may, it likewise seems to have impaired a portion of the usefulness of weight
and closeness measuring sensors in the entryways. The entryways close with
enough energy to slice a medium-size cucumber down the middle, as per
recordings on the MeTV YouTube channel, and squash bigger cucumbers. Whether a
cucumber is analagous to a human arm or leg is hard to say. (It isn't, unless
you have delicate bones. In any case, the suggestions for your fingers are
aggravating — Ed). At any rate in the recordings, the entryway reaches bigger
articles and after that inverts. Note that the voiceover on the recordings
proposes some circumstances and end results conclusions that may be found from
an alternate perspective by different analyzers.
- An onscreen note inside the cockpit entitled What's New in [software] Release 7.1 peruses to a limited extent:
- Bird of prey Wing Door shutting conduct has been moved forward
- The Falcon Wing Door will stop and open move down sightly on the off chance that it experiences a deterrent while shutting
Tesla’s modest response
A few media
destinations have questioned Tesla. Tesla declined remark for a story in
Automotive News. We got this remark from Tesla, as did Jalopnik (same words):
"We balanced Model X Falcon Wing entryways by means of a product upgrade
so as to enhance conclusion consistency and lessen bogus recognition of obstructions."
Tesla CEO Elon
Musk in the past has talked extensively about the difficulties of making
top-pivoted entryways function admirably. At the May 31, 2016 shareholder
meeting, Musk said:
“In particular, the software that controls the Model X and the operation of the doors has been incredibly difficult to refine, and getting the complex set of sensors to work well has been difficult to refine. I think we’re almost there in making the doors useful.”
The first
supplier of the entryways, Hoerbiger Automotive Comfort Systems, was let go and
afterward sued.
