Just curious - are you able to point me to any articles of people dying in non-Tesla car fires due to being trapped because of electric door handles failing?
I tried searching, but was only able to find an article of a man dying of heat exhaustion in a Corvette in 2015.
Someone else in this thread claimed they were seriously injured so couldn’t get out on their own anyway. The specific claim was that after bystanders broke a window, no one tried to get out
Yes, I guarantee there have been many accidents with the occupants too injured to exit on their own, where the car has burned
So my point is that the story is only newsworthy because it’s Tesla. I think you’re arguing that it doesn’t happen in other cars because you can’t find news about it. I think we’re arguing the same point. It could be happening in other cars, but it isn’t newsworthy.
30,000 people die in America every year because of cars, but we don’t see 30,000 news articles about it.
What would make a Tesla more dangerous than say a 2008 Corvette that has the manual release conveniently placed on the floor?
Here’s a photo from a forum where someone suggests a way to cover the label because they don’t like the look.
