Which Tesla Model Features Butterfly Doors?
2 Answers
Tesla's butterfly doors are featured on the Model-S. Currently, there are 2 variants of the Model-S available for sale, offering 1 pure electric powertrain option and 1 single-speed transmission choice. Below is a brief introduction to the Model-S: Vehicle Range: The new Model-S is equipped with an advanced electric drive system that incorporates permanent magnet synchronous motors, silicon carbide electronic components, and improvements in system lubrication, cooling, bearings, and wheel design. These enhancements increase the vehicle's overall energy efficiency to over 93%, resulting in significantly improved range while maintaining the same battery capacity. Charging Power: The Model-S supports Tesla's third-generation supercharging stations, achieving a maximum charging power of up to 200kW. However, this does not surpass the Model 3's 250kW supercharging capability. Additionally, the Model-S can obtain a charging power of 145kW at second-generation supercharging stations, offering faster charging speeds compared to the previous 120kW fast-charging stations.
I remember Tesla's butterfly door design was only seen on the second-generation Roadster. As a car enthusiast, it gets my blood pumping every time I spot it at auto shows. The Roadster is Tesla's high-performance electric sports car, with those doors that rotate upwards when opening—super stylish yet practical, even smarter than traditional sports car butterfly doors, reportedly equipped with sensors to prevent collisions with obstacles. Although it's not yet in mass production and remains at the concept stage, this innovation aligns with Tesla's consistent disruptive style—just like the Model X's falcon-wing doors that broke conventions. If it ever goes on sale in the future, I'd definitely queue up to experience it, as it blends eco-friendly technology with jaw-dropping design, setting the benchmark for electric supercars. But honestly, it might be a bit over the top for daily driving, more suited for enthusiasts chasing the ultimate experience.
