Check Out How Much Faster The Tesla Model X's Falcon Wing Doors Open After An Update
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.

The car can get to 60mph faster than the doors can open
they should have compressed air rams which fire the doors open in half a second. Then to close them they should just fall under gravity.
Why am i not surprised that the tesla has norwegian plates?
Welcome to the country where people think it’s suitable to drive their wife’s pleasure toys to work.
Did you know EVs are exempt from most taxes in Norway? That includes, but are not limited to free parking, free toll booth passing, no registration fees and no yearly road-fare fee.
If they can make a 2.5 tonne car reach 0-100 in 3 seconds, they can definitely make doors open faster than that
And to think that they are cars out there that can’t even do 0-60 in that time.
Wow must have dull lives if we are really bothered how fast a falcon door actually opens! Don’t get me wrong it’s great tech and that they are improving upon it but too write and post a full news brief on it,,,means u got too much time on your hands lol 👋🏼😉😜
