An amateur video uploaded to YouTube has given us a new look at Tesla’s falcon wing doors in action.
The Tesla Model X is the automaker’s third vehicle and will officially launch on Tuesday at an event held in Fremont, Calif. One of the most unique features of the Model X will be its falcon wing doors, which open vertically, almost like gull-wing doors. The difference is that the falcon wings are double hinged, so they don’t swing out to the side of the vehicle.
In the video, we can see one of the falcon wing doors opening and closing, though this test mule requires the driver to hop out and finish closing the door.
