New Tesla SUV - Gullwing Doors

[Rich W]

I think "Falcon Wings" was meant to be a marketing tie-in to the Falcon rockets over at SpaceX (another Musk company).

I think the Falcon Wing designation was to refer to the way
the doors double-hinge, like a Falcon tucking its wings to
dive more quickly, but these doors do not really tuck in like
Falcon Wings during a dive, so the reference falls short.

As for the practicality of the doors on a vehicle this tall,
I think the stance is too tall for opening the rear doors
in an average residential garage without part of the door
hitting an overhead garage door that is open or even the
garage door opener itself. I do not think this was even
considered with the design.

Later,
Rich W.

BTW: I should know about door opening clearances with
the D Rex not fitting in most residential garages.
