Firmware 2024.20.1
released
Tesla has brought back and improved the automatic door opening feature in the Model X with software update 2024.20.1.
In 2023, Tesla removed the ultrasonic sensor from the Model X while upgrading its autonomous driving system. However, this change also resulted in the loss of some functions, in particular the door could no longer open automatically.
Now, when a driver approaches Model X with a Card Key or Mobile Key, the vehicle will automatically open the main driver's door, allowing the driver to enter the vehicle without touching the door handle. The driver does not need to manually close the door, just press the brake pedal and the door will close automatically.
It's worth noting that previously the door only opened a few centimeters, but after this update the door can open completely.
