Time to close Tesla Model X Falcon Wing door: 5-6 secs

A horse takes 0.0 seconds. Your point?

But what if there is snow on it?!

I saw a post yesterday saying that there were capacitance sensors on the inside that would prevent it from closing on anyone. Not a lot of details so far.

The door is laden with sensors, it won't close on anyone. Even if you shove an arm in there the door detects the resistance and stops moving. We played with those scenarios on Elon's car

Though, seems to me if you start driving while a sliding door is closing, the risk of whacking something is low.

Will the Model X even move if the doors are open or still closing?

The cars at the reveal were moving while the doors were open/closing. I doubt that you would be able to open the doors until the car is in park (or at least stopped).

I think the real question is how many times can you open and close the FWs at stop lights when the cars next to you are asking you questions about your Model X. <grin>

And faster CPU!

Reminded me of the pleasure of opening/closing the roof of our mb SL at stop lights: and how much I felt an idiot when the light changed to green mid roof cycle.
