The front windshield refracts light incorrectly causing a doubling and blurriness of bright objects, such as tail lights. The effect is most noticeable at night, causing a headache in some (myself included) and presenting a safety hazard. Windshield defective. Turns out this is the case on all Model Xs. Images, especially taillights are doubled at night time. Too many other issues to list them all. Tesla has serious issues with the X.
