RE: [DML] A Tesla Gullwing? Model X. Count me in!

["Michael Substelny" <msubstel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chevy once made a Corvette prototype with this type of door. The
mid-door hinge does mean the door can open with less space beside the
car. The trade-off is that the bottom of the door hangs down into the
area where passengers enter and exit the car. Seems like I would bang my
head every time.

To visualize this see these photos:
