Check Out How Much Faster The Tesla Model X's Falcon Wing Doors Open After An Update
Believe it or not, Tesla's latest over-the-air update for the Model X actually makes its fancy 'Falcon Wing' doors open faster by a noticeable margin
While the headline news from Tesla’s latest over-the-air update concerned Autopilot updates, for Model X users it actually included a very practical change. We’re talking about those fancy ‘Falcon Wings’, and while the Model X has come under attack for these incredibly complicated doors, they do at least open and close quicker now post-update.
As demonstrated in the video above, they now open 1.5sec quicker, closing an even more significant 2.2sec faster. You’re looking at a 22 and 26 per cent reduction in operation time respectively, which your average Model X owner will no doubt appreciate if it’s chucking it down with rain when they get back to their car.

Unnecessary tech. Its just another thing that can break. Its ok when the car is newer but I bet once they reach more than 10 Years of age it will become an issue that adds to the maintenance costs. At the End it means people will scrap the cars sooner. Stupid. While its a good show of value i see hardly any practical use. Sure if you have kids you might avoid scratching other cars when the kids normally would slam open your cars doors. Thats the only thing i really can thing of.. And my car has a solution to the same problem too although its 17 years old. Simply use central locking so the kids cant open the doors.
isn’t thing ridiculous? “hey look! my car has a new firmware update! now i can open my doors faster!” yay :V
Wait did tesla get a V8?
sick so cooooooooooool im am so happy i saw this depressing video it makes my life worthwhile to see doors opening faster yay im so happy now :)

Can’t understand if it’s a car, or a smartphone 😂😂
My manual door is still 2x faster and more reliable.
