Agreed! Only a software engineer would risk a product launch delay because of an uber-bikeshedded pet feature (Model X doors) or wait until the last minute to ship and then construct a makeshift “factory” in a parking lot and make staff go through a death march, QA be damned.
- starpilot 7y agoThe Model X doors are terrible. It's an SUV that you can't put a roof rack on. Does seem like a case of geek myopia over usability.

- bryanlarsen 7y agoSliding minivan doors get you both.
- FullyFunctional 7y agoI haven't used or wanted a roof rack in 30 years (extra mass and drag at the highest location? No thanks), but the Model X has a lot of storage space, including the frunk so it's a non-issue. The falcon doors also provide a surprising benefit: cover in the rain. And they are very practical with small children.
