    It was definitely easier to have 2 doors, since they took two sides of a car and cut the middle out of it. If you removed a door you would have to custom fabricate a whole side for the car rather than just using the panels as they are

    Plus I feel like that was the design objective, take a car, cut the middle out, and make the thinnest car possible. This thing is engineering art as much as anything else
