Elon spoke about falcon doors a bit at the meeting. He said he wanted to create something akin to a work of art, he wanted people to see back seats almost framed once the door is opened. He spoke very passionately about the quality outcome he wanted to achieve, he wanted people to fall in love with the car. It seems that his bar is higher than just selling cars.
The production prototype was done months ago. I think now they are just maniacally tweaking and making sure their suppliers are ready for ramp. The main delay was due to Elon's insistence on perfection. It's in the benefit of consumers to wait for an amazing product instead of a half baked one, even though Elon's idea of half baked is better than the majority's idea of perfection...
