I don't think I can open those falcon doors when parked inside my garage. Which is a pity because it is damn cold in Canada half the year.

  The doors actuate on two hinges and have sonar to detect both horizontal and vertical clearance during all movements. They will adapt to both low ceilings and low side clearances, and need only about a foot of space on either side of your car to open. In the video, Musk talks about garages with small ceilings and then shows a video of the doors opening in one. If there's enough space for you to pull in and get out of your car now, there's almost surely enough space to open the doors in this one too.

    I wonder how they adapt to having snow on the roof.

      If there is too much snow on the roof to use the falcon doors then you should have the driver get in up front, push on the accelerator for 4 seconds and then push on the brake. Now you can circle back and get the kids.

      Are you driving your car with a large mass of snow on the roof? Please don't, it's dangerous.

        I don't, but I see many people who do.
