This Tesla Model X Is A Parking Lot Bully
Tesla's Model X crossover-egg has had a rough history with automatic doors—namely those fancy-but-flawed Falcon Wing doors for passengers. But the front doors also have an automatic opening feature, too, and they're a bit bullish in the parking lot.
Mark Rechtin of Motor Trend discovered that the automatic front driver door of a Tesla Model X that's being tested for the magazine's Car Of The Year has no concern for cars parked around it.

So the bump is more of a sibling-shove and less of a UFC fighter's punch, but if the Audi Q5 owner witnessed that, you'd probably wish your Model X hadn't just automatically elbowed its neighbor.
