As many of us know, it's still possible in many situations if you can get the front door open just enough to squeeze through. The reason why you want to engineer something better for the rear door is for families, mainly. You need a bigger aperture to help kids in and out of car seats, for example. That's a huge use case for the Model X.

If you have kids and you watched this you are going bonkers right now.

Climb over the front seat into the back seat or vice versa. I've had to do it before, when boxed in at a weird angle.

Since it's a suv I bet you could get out through the 2nd row. Would be a heck of a lot easier than opening a regular swinging door.

If there's space between the front seats you could get through that way.

You would have to be pretty athletic and not too big.

Yeah, the console sort of makes that route impractical, doesn't it?

Dunno, but he showed the falcon door opening problem doesn't exist.

Probably ask it to park itself.
