Tesla got one thing right
Falcon doors, goofy and unnecessarily complex though they may be, are the right doors for a future family hauler. Why? Because they don't swing.
Of the possible ways you could open a car door, the conventional swing-out door is the single worst possible solution for a family car. They're large and unwieldy for children and impossible to situate with your hands full of toddler . An unexpected gust of wind can yank it out of your hands — likely in the direction of something expensive — and even if there's nothing to hit, there's a chance the door's momentum could damage its own hinges or, worse, tweak the actual door frame.
They're equally impractical when it comes to implementing technological helpers. One-touch auto-open/close sliding doors are borderline no-brainers, but such simple solutions have no place on swinging doors because they might hit something. We've known that swinging doors are not ideal on a family car for decades. Well, vans have been offered with sliding doors for about as long as there have been vans. Admittedly, sliding doors have drawbacks even relative to swing-up doors.
