I want to know if there is a speed limit when the doors are open. Also, what is the maximum speed at which you can be traveling and still close the Falcon doors. Thanks!

Somebody's planning a bank robbery.

Would that be before you take flight or after?

Too bad Mythbusters are not making new episodes. I heard the Model X lifts off at 75mph.

Maybe someone should suggest it for the guy who "Hot BoX-ed" his X (like that?
).
He seems like someone who might actually try it...

so what I gather from all sarcasm is that you can drive and close them while moving. I only need them to work at ~10 MPH. I don't want to hold up the carpool line if I have to close my doors every time I inch forward.
Bank robbery to possible flight to carpool lane... Not the direction I was hoping this thread would take

@randy1077 you were hit up with humor because the question was unusual, unclear and frankly fun.
OK, we can start over. Don't take this the wrong way, but .....why would you need/want to drive [in the car pool lane or FTM anywhere] with the GWDs open? For instance, opening GWDs/doors in our car pool lanes would risk the lives of motorcylcists which are allowed to lane split, so help us understand the nature of the question.

Well crafted. As soon as I saw the thread title, I was going to post something similar. *applause*

My friend MaxK drove his in a 4th of July parade with the falcon wing doors open the whole time. So it can be done.
Having said that, be super careful. There is a thread on here about someone driving theirs into the garage with the doors open, smashing the door into the wall.

FWIW, I sent a recommendation to Tesla to disable driving with FWDs open by default, but to provide an onscreen override (mostly for cases where the door or sensor aren't registering the door being closed). I personally don't recommend driving with them open, especially around interested kids. But your situation likely differs from what I'm imagining.

I'm afraid my imagination is like yours, and I love your idea! Have you got any response/feedback from Tesla?
Please, not another acronym for the Falcon Wing Doors. Let's stick with FWD. They are not "Gull Wing Doors".

Ooops....not even thinking about gulls......weird.
Probably just old-mind-merge from typing GSP earlier, thanks for the jolt. I mean volt. I mean bolt.
