My wife and I have had our X for just over 2 weeks now. Unfortunately 1 week of it there were some minor kinks we asked to have worked out at the service center and I was traveling for some of those other days. Although I have driven it, today was really the first DAD DAY with the Model X and two kids (3 and 1 and aother on the way in a few weeks).
It was AWESOME!!! We've had an S for 3 years which is incredible too, but the X with little kids in car seats is amazing, BECAUSE OF THE DOORS!
Today the kids and I must made 6 or 7 stops throughout the day where I had to take them out of the car and put them in. Sometimes in very public places and other times in private areas without anyone around.
My question for other X owners with kids is, HOW DO YOU PREFER TO OPEN THOSE FALCON WING DOORS AT ARRIVAL?
A)If I'm in a good outgoing mood i just hit both door buttons on the touch screen at the same time so it's like "BAM! Here I AM!" to everyone around who sees those two Falcon wings rise in harmony together. Then I begin the process of taking each kid out and into our double stroller one at a time.
or
B)If I'm feeling more introverted and don't want to draw attention (although they still sometimes do which is fine by me) then I'll pull up and just hit the one Falcon Wing Door button for the first kid I'm taking out. Then go around to the 2nd FWD and hit the outside door handle which seems less efficient bc you have to wait those extra 2 seconds for the door to open then instead of having it already open as with option (A) above.
Or do you have some other way to open those X doors on arrival not discussed above
