Model X Falcon Wing structure and PPF challenges
Falcon Wing doors are Tesla's signature dual-hinge design — an upper hinge in the roof rail plus a mid-hinge in the door itself, paired with ultrasonic sensors and radar to open/close in gaps as narrow as 30cm. It's a design statement, but a major PPF challenge: door edges, hinges and sensor windows all need custom narrow templates that avoid every sensor window, or misapplied film can trigger false sensor readings.
LETS GET WRAP developed a five-piece dedicated Falcon Wing template: (1) door outer panel PPF, (2) 8mm door-edge PPF strip, (3) upper hinge perimeter cutout, (4) mid-hinge sensor window cutout, (5) inner door edge (passenger scuff zone) protection. Every install is tested with 20+ open/close cycles to confirm all three sensor systems (ultrasonic, radar, inertial) work normally.
