I was on the road and couldn't stop so no picture. The car was a newer one and the back doors opened up like a De'Lorian (sorry if spelled wrong) but the front doors looked like they opened regular like. It was not a van but looked like a small mid-size car. Just curious

I heard a rumor that the Delorian was going to be made again. I haven't kept up to see. My brother in law has one of the old ones and he told me they were going to make them again.

Could be a aftermarket kit modification. Recently test drove a Daytona with the gull wing doors.

They're called gull wing doors. You can buy a kit and put gull wings on lots of cars. My husband is looking for a new limo and one of his "requirements" is Lamborghini doors that lift up.
Must be a man thing.

Tesla Model X (DH is lusting over it!) Tracey edited for autocorrect Dgs and I just saw one, too. They are calling the doors Falcon Wings. We saw two kids get out of the back seat and were so surprised! I didn't realize they had come out already! clicky |

Tesla model X!! It is the most fantastic car, I absolutely love mine. So much more fun than a mini van to drive. The doors are awesome, it makes it so much easier to get three kids in and out of the car.
There are many, many things I love about it. Some random things...
- When it's raining the doors keep you dry when loading and unloading kids.
- There is a button on the touch screen that allows you to close all the doors at once (you can close then individually too).
- There is a button on the starting wheel that you can push and ask it to play any song you want and it will play it.
- There is an incredible amount of storage. Between the frunk (front trunk), the back, and the lower back you can range a ton. We recently did four days at Disneyland, luggage for 5 and a double stroller all fit fine.
- Mine seats up to 7, but we don't use the back row very often since I can fit 3 carseats in the main middle row. The back row folds down giving more trunk space.
- The driver's door closes when you put you foot on the brake - silly, but I love that!
- The acceleration is incredible!!!
- Tesla's customer service is amazing, dh tried opening the back lower compartment with stuff on to and snapped the handle (totally his fault) I went in and I had a new one at no charge in less than 5 minutes.
- And lots of other awesomeness.
We're in the bay area and they're everywhere. There are at least 8, same color and everything, at my kid's school. I asked for my birthday to get it wrapped or painted so it's easier to identify.
Most fantastic car ever!!

I imagine you plug in of course, but doesn't that take a long time? |

I did a half country road trip in one, it took about 30 minutes if i remember correctly to charge. About as long as it took us to go inside, do a restroom break with the kids, stretch for a minute and grab coffee

So I checked out the link for the Tesla...did anyone else crack up at the bioweapons defense mode?? I did because it was either that or cry at the fact that the engineers felt it might be necessary at some point. And now I've added a Tesla to my "when I win the lottery bucket list." StephDRebel, how much does it cost to charge it at the charging station? |

This may be a dumb question, is this car electric and gas or all electric? If all electric, what do you do when you've run out of range on that long of trip? I imagine you plug in of course, but doesn't that take a long time? It is all electric. There are super chargers all along the route. We stop, plug in, do a bathroom stop(3 kids), sometimes eat, and then head out. We tend to stop for 30-45 minutes. Which with the three kids it's a good break and I usually nurse the baby. The super chargers can bring you to a full charge in under an hour. I have a 90d so at max I have a 250 mile range. |

StephDRebel , how much does it cost to charge it at the charging station? Charging is free at the super chargers (tesla maintains them). But cars bought after January 1 will get the first 1,000 miles a year free and then there will be a small fee after that. Both of ours are grandfathered in to free super charging for life. We have used bioweapon! On the drive down 5 there is a couple huge castle ranches right on the freeway and they stink! So we use bio mode then! Also nice if you get behind a big truck that is spewing stinky stuff. |

Regular charge point or other commercial chargers that any electric cars can use do take longer. The super chargers are the fast ones and they only charge Tesla's. |
