Tesla sued for door defect linked to fatal car crash: BGOV transportation sector report

Tesla has recently become embroiled in a lawsuit, with the core issue pointing to a defect in the Cybertruck's doors: this defect prevented several college students from escaping a burning vehicle during a fatal accident, ultimately leading to their deaths from smoke inhalation. The plaintiffs have characterized the involved Cybertruck as a "death trap." The lawsuit documents detail that after the accident, the Cybertruck's doors could not be opened due to design or manufacturing defects, and even after the vehicle caught fire, the occupants were still unable to exit through the doors; the smoke generated by the fire quickly filled the cabin, ultimately resulting in the tragic deaths of several college students. Tesla has not yet publicly responded to the lawsuit, and the specific details of the case are still under further investigation
