The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court of Northern California, aims to stop the supplier, Hoerbiger Automotive Comfort Systems LLC, from demanding more payment from Tesla after the electric-vehicle maker cut ties with the supplier in May 2015.... After launching the Model X SUV in September 2015, Tesla has filed a federal lawsuit against the supplier of the car's falcon doors, claiming the company misrepresented its ability to engineer the doors, after it failed to meet the requirements just months before the car was revealed. The suit claims that Tesla's Falcon doors are not as strong or durable as they were advertised and have been "significantly compromised" by their use on the vehicle. Some of the faults with the doors included overheating, which caused them to shut down, they also did not open with the speed of symmetry required by Tesla.
