Testimony Reveals Doors Would Not Open on Cybertruck That Caught Fire in Piedmont, Killing Three

...to shove up your fucking ass.

A crowbar has a better and more iconic design than a cybertruck.

I thought the glass was going to be unbearable or something.

if you're a typical cybertruck owner, it's in the shop or you're waiting for service, and you're driving your absolutely necessary backup car.

I bet you will see this within one month. Maybe even sooner.

Oh my gosh the conspiracy theories would be so much if Trump died because a Tesla caught fire with him inside.

Move fast and kill people. How brave of him.

*roast test

$10 says he tries to charge the family for "crematorium services rendered".

Par for the course at this point. If you buy a Tesla of any sort. If anything happens to your vehicle where you need a quick escape. You're as good as dead.

I saw those tunnels for the first time. I’d originally thought they were proper tunnels that you normally drive through in cities or the occasional mountain.

Nope.

They’re hamster tubes. Saw how claustrophobic they were and didn’t see any means of emergency escape. Hell no, would not enter.

Lol absolutely not!

under the rubber mat of the "map pocket" in the doors

That sounds like a real shit place to try finding in a smoke and fire filled car. That thing needs a recall and crushed into cybercubes.

manual release

Also known as the same fucking handle you use every day in every other make of car.

Who lets this shit be sold?

The hero who tried to rescue the people inside was hitting the window with a tree branch, but the windows didn't crack until after over a dozen swings

Reminder that you need a small, pointed object to shatter most automobile glass easily.

I'm impressed he broke the window at all with something soft and blunt.

Some important corrections

Corrections to what? Does the article get any of these points wrong?

• The article says nothing about opening the doors from the inside; if you are ever in that situation, cybertrucks have a manual release under the rubber mat of the "map pocket" in the doors (source)

That's an irresponsible, deadly, anti-human design feature, but thanks for the tip I guess.

I'm genuinely confused as to why you would prefer an electronic door opener. Is it just a gimmick for aesthetics? I've heard that it's to allow for frameless doors (in which it's better to open the window a bit before opening the door), but I've been in multiple cars that did that with a mechanical handle just fine, by simply adding a switch to that mechanical handle. It seems so stupid on so many levels: cost, reliability, repairability, and - chiefly - safety.

Obviously they tried the door handles first unless they were knocked out. And to have a manual release in such a stupid, hidden spot? Don't try to be an apologist for Tesla. There is no excuse for making such poorly designed cars these days.

I've been in the Model Y with the stupid wing doors and the release is behind the speaker covers in the door. The speaker covers are not easy to grab or remove. That's when I have the user manual open and there isn't a lithium fueled fire burning me up in seconds

Every sane vehicle with electric locks unlocks automatically after a crash.

What is wrong with you?
