Wind farm. All that free bird meat, yum.

Supercharger station. I'd sell overpriced iced tea to the folks milling around waiting for their cars to charge.

I think the falcon wing doors are an alternative to sliding doors found on minivans. I have no doubt they improve access to the rearmost seats, and they would also improve access for loading/unloading of stuff like baby seats and the babies in them. In other words, maybe they put them there for practical purposes.

My biggest issue with them would be how wet the inside of the car would get when they're open on an inclement day. Or, now that I think about it, when the roof of the car has a few inches of snow on it.
