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.

Is the next thing if the future going to be door-opening drag races?

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.
