I wonder if the doors can open like the Model X. The model X door unlocks (comes ajar - like the model 3 ) AND then it opens up to let the driver in.Since they opted for an electronic button over mechanical, I wonder if future software update would allow fully automatic doors like the X....

I'm hoping you are being sarcastic.The Model S has had electronic door releases since the beginning and they've never added automatic door opening (which definitely would require more hardware). Why would they put such a feature in the Model 3 if they've never put it in the Model S?
I hope not. Solutions to non-existent problems are inelegant.
Quite the contrary, since they're going for ease of manufacturing and cost efficiency, it would be more expensive to first come out with a different hardware now then implement totally new hardware later (or at least so I've gathered from how they manufacture their other vehicles). The Model S does not have any mechanism that props the door open ala the X and the 3.You've called out the difference here. There are two very separate actions that happen with Model X. The 3 only has the hardware for one of those actions (unlocking/unlatching) but does not have the necessary (for lack of a more accurate term) struts for opening and closing the door too.
Since they're going for a less expensive and simpler to manufacture car, there's almost no way that additional hardware needed for opening and closing the doors automatically exists in the 3.

It's for more efficient updating of your status. And safer too - no chance of walking into a closed car door as you type.Unless you're handicapped, Is a motorized car door really that vital? Or is it just about feeling like your car is cooler than someone else's?
