Elon's decision to keep the gull wing doors is awesome though. The concept had them and he believes that a company shouldn't show one concept with cool features, then deliver the actual car without those cool features. All the other auto companies do it and it's incredibly disappointing.
Companies put stuff on concepts knowing they won't make it to production. If his concept had them and they just couldn't make it work out but they legitimately tried, that doesn't seem as bad.
I guess it depends on the idea of the concept car vs show piece of future production. I think some of the concept cars that GM/Ford/Dodge sometimes display are obviously concept cars that will never see the light of day. However, Tesla isn't really at that stage. So when they show a concept, it needs to be closer to reality. Toyota had a concept Rav 4 a few years ago that I really liked and had hoped they would put into production, they never did and it was extremely disappointing.
I guess what I'm saying is, if it's going to be a concept car, make it so outlandish that no one will believe it will be production.
