This would info below be good to know if you ever had a crash:
“When power to the truck’s electric doors was shuttered by the fire, the passengers were locked inside with no way out.”
(It’s alleged that the driver and two passengers were trapped amid flames and smoke that eventually killed them.)
The lawsuit being reported in this article alleges:
“Tesla door handles have been at the center of several other crash lawsuits because the battery powering the unlocking mechanism can be destroyed in a fire and the manual releases that override that system are difficult to find.
“The backup mechanical release for that door was concealed beneath the liner of the map pocket at the bottom of the door – hidden, unlabeled, and impractical to locate or use in the smoke and chaos of a post-crash fire,” said the Nelsons. “As a result, the Cybertruck’s design left … (the) occupants with no practical way to escape.”
😳 That sounds pretty gruesome!
So if you’re a Cybertruck owner it’d obviously seem to be good practice to make sure you know exactly where these emergency releases are and maybe even practice implementing them.
