Tesla Model X

The Tesla Model X is a mid-size crossover SUV made by Tesla in the United States from 2015 to 2026. Its weirdest quirk: "Falcon wing" rear doors that hinge at the roof and fold upward to let people into the back seats.

A family SUV whose rear doors open upward like a gull with ambitions. The doors helped delay the launch and sparked a lawsuit against the supplier, which is a lot of drama for a way to get the kids in.
