No cos the model S has a normal door latch with release lever. This story was a model 3 from a couple of days ago. Just sat in Solihull in this one now.

Can't imagine gullwing doors are going to be helpful if the car lands on it's roof either

I’m literally sat in a model 3 at Touchwood Solihull now. Quite nice actually.

I would imagine they have similar failsafes to the SLS.
Besides you’re far less likely to be upside down compared to traditional SUV’s...

The EQC and E-Tron are pig ugly, the I-Pace is about the only viable alternative and that’s not particularly competitive with the model X either.
just hope your bumper doesn't fall off cos it's full of water when it rains.
You can hard reset the screen in a Tesla on the fly by holding down the 2 buttons on the starting wheel. No need to pull over or turn the car on and off.
I’m not really sure what the issue is with the rear doors, particularly in the fire circumstance highlighted above. If that is a problem how do all 3 door cars pass safety tests or cars with mechanical child locks.
You also need to remember thermal runaway in an EV is a far slower reaction than an engine or fuel tank ignition. The latter can turn a car into a fireball in a split second, thermal runaway on the other hand can take minutes to turn into a significant fire. Granted it’s much harder to put out.

I bet all the Focus RS owners who had to get new engines would have been happier with a dodgy bumper!
Or Cayman 987 owners who had to have engine repairs. Or GT3 owners who had cars that spontaneously burst into flames.
Or GT86 owners who have had their cars recalled to have the engine dismantled.

You think the big screen is more interesting than the autopilot and summon features or the supercar performance specs? Sounds like you didn't have a very good look at it.
It's possible for a fast car to be boring, see Audi.
Personally I don't really care about the gimmicks. They don't make a car interesting beyond the first 10 minutes.

Like? I assume you aren’t talking about similar class cars? Being 7 seat SUV’s.
I imagine if it was called an i7 and had a BMW badge stuck on the front everyone would be chatting a different game.

Not really, the BMW would be designed properly and put together better.

Would rather buy an XC90 T8 and spend the rest on a Porsche.

The eco car in your dream would smoke most things on the road anyway.
