The model 3 and Y both back mechanical backups. I suspect the S does too. The back doors on the X definitely don't, but that's not the only questionable design decision on the X.

They didn't want sliding doors because that makes it a minivan. And minivans are "uncool"

So give it regular-ass doors like every other SUV. Now Tesla's only full-size SUV (as well as their only "truck") are not compatible with a roof rack. If I get an SUV or a truck it's because I want to move a bunch of stuff around, and I 100% will get a roof rack because of that.
