Ok this has happened like 5 times now, how tf are these allowed
Well, the government organization that allowed consumers to complain, get the money back along with a settlement, and have the product recalled, was recently "fed into a wood chipper" by the guy who makes the cybertrucks.
Are they saying the doors were not damaged and still didn’t open? I could see the doors being damaged and resulting in them not opening. I’m sure that’s common.
If the Cybertruck gets water into the door (y'know, like from rain) it's pretty common for the doors to also just open themselves whenever the fuck.
It's amazing what's common with these trucks, I recommend everyone read the Cybertruck Owners Forum.
The doors use a push button mechanism to open. There's no handle, no place to grip, nothing. You tap a button, that opens the door. Meaning if the internal electronics have been messed up, congratulations, that door isn't opening.
You can open the door by basically disassembling it and pulling on a cord, but nobody knows how to do that
Yeah, that sounds really easy to do while burning to death.
If only there was an easily accessible handle of some kind that could be used to open the door...
Someone outside of the vehicle cannot access this cord. Unconscious or disoriented passengers are fucked.
Someone outside of the vehicle should be either calling an ambulance or grabbing the jaws of life and telling the door it doesn't have a choice in the matter.
The jaws of life cannot be used if the vehicle is actively on fire.
Passengers dying because of the vehicle's aesthetic features is another square on the Tesla bingo card and another example of the insanity that this country has fallen into.
