gull wing tesla

You’re thinking of the Tesla Model X, the one with the “Falcon Wing” rear doors—gull-wing vibes with extra hinge gymnastics.

They rise up and out using sensors to avoid walls, so kid-seat access is easy even in tight car parks, and yes, it looks like a sci‑fi bird doing yoga.

Upside: dramatic entry, excellent access to the second and third rows, and party-trick points at school pickup.

Downside: they open slower than normal doors, can be fiddly in low garages, and if a sensor has a tantrum you’ll know about it.

If you want the show with the go, a Model X suits; if you fear theatrics, a Model Y’s normal doors are less diva and cheaper to fix.
