    Giant Blog Post - The 5 Year Tesla Experience

    Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the read. That license plate thing you mentioned at the end looks really cool! :)

    Different Door Handles...

    Thanks Jake & Johnny for that clarification. I wonder if the newer style handles are the "push button" Model X style vs the autopresenting kind?

    Different Door Handles...

    I've been doing the standard "I'm obsessed with Tesla morning video consumption" and I noticed something from the reveal. When the Model 3s were revealed on the stage, one of the them had door handles that looked just like the Model S (the one on the far left of the stage, matte finish). The...

    VIDEO: FALCON WING doors explained by Mark Templeton

    True he's not comparing a Model X falcon wing door to a Model X sized Gullwing door because, like you said they don't exist. My guess is that they don't exist in larger format vehicles because they would be less practical/functional. I think the point he's making and the point Elon Musk has...

    VIDEO: FALCON WING doors explained by Mark Templeton

    Though the DeLorean video you presented is compelling, he's not wrong about a gullwing door and the additional space it would require. Imagine that DeLorean being the same height has the Model X (i.e. 66 inches tall instead of 45 inches). That would make that gullwing door significantly...
