I had a ram quad and loved the doors.
Unlike the poorly designed i3, seatbelts were in the seats.

Lastly, I love the suicide doors. Always have, ever since the Supremely Rich Neighbor had them on his '61? '62? Lincoln.
+1! I loved them too. Especially on the convertible.
Not sure how suicide doors make the car more useful. They are perhaps a little more useful than a 2 door car - but not normal 4 door.Well, the suicide doors would go along with Musk's comment that he wanted to make the Model 3 "useful."
I'd need tires with some sidewall for our local roads. Aside from that, hell yes! Sign me up! (Although with normal rear doors, and a B-pillar. Roof crush strength standards makes skipping the B pillar inadvisable.)
Side impact protection might be a problem too (with no B pillar)

I think that the Model 3 will look more like a Mazda 6. Thoughts?View attachment 83782
Without the reinforced B Pillar, the passengers lose that critical safety design feature.
Think along the lines of getting T-boned by a pick-up or large SUV, which would probably miss the sill under the doors.
Bumper impact to an unreinforced door would not be pretty.
In my view, retaining the structural B-Pillar is a must.
I look forward to the Model 3 with a literal front door.
