You're on a brushless forum talking negatively about batteries.. :lol::lol:

What is your point. Batteries go dead plain a simple. Your battery dies in one of those cars and your door is stuck open/close until you charge it up or replace it.

I just thought it was funny.. no point as usual.

Maybe we could put a fail safe in it..

a battery back-up specifically for the doors would be a good idea and im sure they must of thought of this type of issue. :wink:

Bah, whats wrong with gull-wing doors like on the delorean or lambos?

i like the lambo doors too. Although this is hi-tech and i am a techy.

may be moved manually in an emergency That is the back-up plan. read the picture description. :lol:

It is rather clever I must admit, but I cant help thinking that in a roll or side-on crash that the car would crumble rather baddly?...

I do not even want to think of how expensive that design is. I do wonder how much weight/steel they have to add to the roof to make up for the lost structural support in the middle of the car.

I wonder how easy to open after a crash. Even a minor one that only slightly crumples the door.

Old school.....:rules:

I like the lambo style better. But for the money i'll stick with normal doors.

That's def different!

May be stronger than reg door too - just depends on how they designed it. Seems like an accident that crumpled the door could leave you trapped though. Sure they've thought of that too, so they must have some reponse about potential accidents. I'd hate to have to use one of these doors in one of our TX Turdfloater T'storms though - sure is a big hole.

DISAPPEARING CAR DOOR - For those those who are too lazy to open a regular door.

Also the supporting brace that runs from the roll cage down to the lower chassis section is removed, which decreases structural integrity under a side impact crash, unless, the door is made out of a material in which that is so strong it can stand up to that abuse, although then it will be so cost defective it will become absolete.

You beat me to it. I dont understnad why more companies dont use this design. Lambo really outdid itself with it.

You would notice many other things wrong with your vehicle (electrically) way before the battery was so dead it wouldn't operate the doors. :yes:

Not always, havnt you ever woke up to go to work and have a dead battery due to a bad battery or OE like leaving the dome light on.

Believe it or not, I haven't! :mdr: If they were smart they would allow for manual operation of the doors, just because of the probability that your battery could die and lock you in/out of your vehicle.

Climb in through the trunk...

I doubt even my car allows for fully manual operation as the window has to drop down in order to the door to open...
