Q: Are carbon fiber doors safe in a side impact?

These are engineered with side impact in mind, which is why they use a Carbon-Hybrid construction rather than carbon alone. High-strength steel is sandwiched into the door skin itself, and the factory side impact beam design is reproduced in full dry carbon inside each door. That gives a level of strength and resilience that a carbon-only door cannot match. We built them to the standard we would accept on our own cars, not the lightest possible shortcut.
