Do FWD's auto-close when driving (and what speed)?

[FlasherZ]

Curious - there is a parade opportunity coming up for our Model X. Has anyone determined at what speed the Model X can be driven with the doors open, and whether the car attempts to automatically close them as with Model S's hatch?

I was at the reveal and they were dropping off people and then moving ahead to pick others up with the doors open.
Also saw a video with one driving with them open

Can i be the first to hit 60 with them open, or is the car limited in speed when they are open?

I have always wanted to see the Model X beat a race car at the drag strip with both of its falcon wing doors up.

I wonder if the amount of G-force would break the wings/hinges when launching! Or if we see lift-off!?! :wink:

Only one way to find out!

A parade will be slow, so you can probably do this; no way to know except to try it. You might also be able to force the doors to stay open by opening them an pulling the relevant fuse.

I tried driving with a FW door open in my driveway yesterday. You can do it but there is a constant reminder and chime on dash console and the tablet telling you it is open and needs to be closed.
