Tesla Model X: Limitations and Inaccuracies
Collision Avoidance features cannot always detect all
objects, vehicles, bikes, or pedestrians, and you may
experience unnecessary, inaccurate, invalid, or missed
warnings for many reasons, particularly if:
- The road has sharp curves.
- Visibility is poor (due to heavy rain, snow, fog, etc.).
- Bright light (such as from oncoming headlights or
direct sunlight) is interfering with the view of the
camera(s).
- A camera or sensor is obstructed (dirty, covered,
fogged over, covered by a sticker, etc.).
- One or more of the ultrasonic sensors is damaged,
dirty, or obstructed (such as by mud, ice, or snow, or
by a vehicle bra, excessive paint, or adhesive
products such as wraps, stickers, rubber coating,
etc.).
- Weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, fog, or
extremely hot or cold temperatures) are interfering
with sensor operation.
- The sensors are affected by other electrical
equipment or devices that generate ultrasonic waves.
WARNING: The limitations previously described do
not represent an exhaustive list of situations that
may interfere with proper operation of Collision
Avoidance Assist features. These features may fail
to provide their intended function for many other
reasons. It is the driver's responsibility to avoid
collisions by staying alert, paying attention, and
taking corrective action as early as possible.
CAUTION: If a fault occurs with a Collision
Avoidance Assist feature, Model X displays an
alert. Contact Tesla Service.
