The best car in the world is

A Tesla. Duh. Specifically, the Tesla Model X. It will set you back $100k (NGN 20 million) and you will have to get on a one year waiting list. But it’s for the best car in the world afterall (let’s hope it still is by then).

All the tantalizing details:

Not sure Russ Hanneman would agree. It opens like this, but for the back doors only. That’s half the billionaire signature. Unacceptable, I tell you.

I thought to see a Porsche.

Until you try parking in any of our Nigeria malls.

I’m curious. What would happen?

The swinging back doors. How you wan open am?

Actually you’d have better luck with these doors than your traditional ones in ‘our Nigerian malls’.

The hinges shot straight up, sliding the rest of the door along the frame. So it doesn’t swing out.

It adjust automatically to the space around it. Sensors are on the door handle. Pretty neat.

@Uduak Next time, RTFA.

Even the “falcon” doors can open in tight, and low, spaces.
What are basically just parking sensors are mounted all over the doors, detecting how low or close another solid surface is. Park the Model X between two vans and the doors can still open; they pull off some impressive yoga moves and work slowly, but they can squeeze themselves up in a spot that’d be hard to open traditional doors in.

@87_chuks I am referring to the height required above the suv. Tesla has not been able to tell the world the official height when open. In some articles, they said the height when fully open is adjustable. In some other interviews, they have not been very specific with it. We are looking at somewhere between 8 and 10feet. So if it hits any obstacle while trying to open, it will close back. So I was thinking of the tower parking in our Nigerian malls because I am not sure they are up to 10feet with those fluorescent lamps they put directly above the parking spaces.
Sometimes I look at the Tesla brand and I see the original Tesla (Nikola).

Parking lots have pretty much a standard height for them to be approved. i’ve forgotten the figures now and I’m to lazy to check but trust me you can’t though those lamps you speak of by just raising your hand. The doors also won’t hit any obstacles. They have sensors to detect distance from objects.
