Automatic doors and kids - Safety concerns
- Thread starter X-Factor-P
- Start date
As a kid I slammed a car door on my little sister's fingers ... this was in an ICE vehicle ... so are we really expecting that the TESLA will be completely 'responsibility free' ... you just need to watch your kids and even then accidents will happen ..

Remember that these guys are trying to get Youtube views. I absolutely love my Tesla... I would not let this type of video discourage me...
Don't worry about the doors, this is how old our daughter was when we first got the X.
This is her now!!
I estimate she is in the car 80% of the time we have driven it, FWD are absolutely fantastic when you have kids, they make the X a truly unique family wagon. We love ours anf wouldnt swap if for any other car onsale today

She's adorable
Thanks a lot for the responses. I guess we have to play around with the doors a bit more on our next test drive and also simulate some more real life kind of situations (it's clear that the guys in the video try really hard to get things crushed, what your kids probably won't do with their fingers...)
The auto opening is a liability, even potentiality into traffic when parked up etc. Disabled it almost since taking delivery.
I guess that's easy enough to fix, we were more worried about the actual closing mechanisms not being sensitive to objects in their way. But that doesn't seem to be a real issue based on what can be found on the internet, so I hope we can tick this box off

I have a 2018 MX 100D and I have to say, you do have to adopt some safety behaviors. It is not good to have someone exit the front seat when the FWDs are coming down, I have beaned my girlfriend a few times... no injuries, the door stops but it hurt a little- after the second time, she yelled at me "I hate your car" and fled inside a nearby store. I am careful about calling out "clear?" when lowering the FWD, and careful about opening it as well, and don't load front passengers at the same time as the back. And if the key fob is in your tight jeans pocket, you could hit one of the lock switches on the fob and have the tailgate or the FWDs come down on your head.... I have done that a number of times too. When it gets a signal to close, the doors gives a quick beep and it is quickly followed by an "ooowww!" and then it stops and complains....

Exactly.
27 minutes to talk about slamming your fingers in the door. That's been a thing since cars first had doors.
Remember the 3 C's of YouTube: Controversy = Clicks = Cash
