Check Out How Much Faster The Tesla Model X's Falcon Wing Doors Open After An Update
While the headline news from Tesla’s latest over-the-air update concerned Autopilot updates, for Model X users it actually included a very practical change. We’re talking about those fancy ‘Falcon Wings’, and while the Model X has come under attack for these incredibly complicated doors, they do at least open and close quicker now post-update.
As demonstrated in the video above, they now open 1.5sec quicker, closing an even more significant 2.2sec faster. You’re looking at a 22 and 26 per cent reduction in operation time respectively, which your average Model X owner will no doubt appreciate if it’s chucking it down with rain when they get back to their car.

That means they can break even faster :D
Is the next thing if the future going to be door-opening drag races?
Manual doors would still rule… #SaveTheManuals!!!
To be fair all they did was raise the limit of the speed lol

NEXT UPDATE: You can now move the seat .003 seconds FASTER!!!!!!!
You know what opens even quicker, normal doors. I’m all for new tech, but not when it’s heavy, slow and ugly, sorry Elon.
I think it is a cool feature of this car. But not for every car.
Amazing
