Warning: Do not trust MyQ

[sefar]

Unfortunately the hallmark of a system that is severely broken if you need to pay for a fair chance in a court of law.

You have to pay to get your car fixed if you can't do it yourself. Nothing is free.

The right to a fair trial is a constitutional guarantee. Hardly comparable to paying to repair your property.

Agree. But the right to a lawyer is not unless you are an indigent accused person.

Which brings us back to the first point. Self representation is laughed at, and most people understand that you will not actually get a fair shot in court unless you pay.

Are you disagreeing with me on that or what? I'm not following what your stance on the subject is.

Self representation is laudable but you can't enter into that arena against an attorney and expect to win--it's a long shot.

You say you shouldn't have to pay for your day in court, I say you do if you want to win. There are ways to pay that level the playing field a bit like a contingent fee, but it is not realistic to think you can sue for money damages without cost.

To your point about constitutional rights, you have a constitutional rignt to life and the pursuit of happiness. Illness or injury impedes those rights yet medical care must be purchased and it is expensive. I would prefer single payer to our insurance system but it isn't in the cards. Ditto legal help inost instances.

Then I think it's fair to say the system is broken and unjust.

Why doesn't your door have an electronic eye at the level of the vehicle to trip if there's a toddler or a car in the way of the door closing?

Is it set low enough the car's ride height goes over it?

I'm baffled that there's no touchless object detection involved.

When there is a better system, let me know.

I have never trusted the auto open/close even though it looks like it works pretty well for most people. Plus we have a single double door and people are always going in and out of the garage. With homelink or myQ, it has been no trouble to manually tap to activate and avoids any issues with self or other vehicle/people also going in or out.

Oh there is one that's perfect. You just can't enter into it on this side of life ?

The MyQ integration is intended to open your garage door when you arrive and close it when you leave. This time it did something different, shortly after opening my garage door, it closed again and damaged my vehicle and garage door. It started to close after the door was not visible from the rear view mirror.

The glass roof is shattered and the garage door has damage as well.

This happened to my Model Y, but it could have easily happened in the Cybertruck as well.

Has anyone had this happen, who do you think bares the responsibility here? MyQ, Tesla, or me? I'm pretty sure I know what the lawyers would say.

This same scenario happens to me as well. If I drive a certain distance down my driveway then MyQ shuts the garage door. I’ve stopped trusting it ever since a shorted garage door sensor wire kept causing errors.

I feel your pain @Pops. Ignore the shamers. This is 100% Tesla’s fault for NOT INCLUDING GARAGE DOOR HARDWARE in Teslas. Period.

You are at fault on this one. Your vehicle activates the door. You drove out of range then back in as if you were arriving again. One other thing is the reversing "eyes" across the opening. Are they in place?
You might adjust the activation distance closer to the door so it doesn't activate until you're backing in. This is in your vehicle menu.

First off, thank you for sharing video context, so many people explain their situation and the variables that make up a situation can become quite complex. I wouldn't say I know who is at fault, there are many factors here, many of which have been mentioned. I think the important aspects though that people are correct on is:
- There is likely a delta between your door being told when it SHOULD close and when you want it, this is likely configuration but no way of knowing for sure in this conversation.
- Your Cybertruck blue is cozy
- I am curious as to why the door sensors themselves didn't detect the issue or did you hit the most perfect timing ever where it was at the perfect height coming down and your wheels had not yet crossed the line.

While this sucks big time for cost of your nice car and the nice garage door, I would keep an eye out on it and see if there is a consistent metric you can rely on. ALL tech fails at some point, the only difference between them all is how they recover from said failures.

It's worth pointing out that the video is from a wide-angle camera on the side of the car. That was not my view from inside looking out the rear view mirror. The door came down and hit the top of the vehicle, the timing was perfect so it was not visible to me.

I made this post as a warning, not to assert fault to any specific party. I'm curious as to how people see it. My lawyer comment is in reference to both companies likely absolving themselves of any responsibility in the user agreement.

The user agreement probably doesn't apply. The fault is the distance setting for activation of the door. That's in the vehicle and set by you.

I use the review mirror because it allows me to align landmarks in my garage through the window when backing up. A wide angle view is less precise and makes it harder to park consistently. Yeah I will likely switch to using the cameras going forward, and disable MyQ automatic closing, opening is low risk.

Its really odd that MyQ flashes the lights when you close using the App, but not when a Tesla triggers a close.

I can at least address the last point. The light flashes when using the app to signal anyone nearby that the door is being remotely closed without direct visibility. When Tesla triggers the door to close, it assumes physical presence and awareness of those involved. However, since the app allows remote operation from anywhere in the world, there is a risk of closing the door on someone unaware of this action. The flashing light serves as a warning to anyone in the vicinity.
