That’s a terrifying way to die, and unfortunately, this would hold true for any vehicle with
“electric door systems, which can fail and trap occupants inside vehicles, particularly after a crash.”
What i actually expected was an actual comparison of EVs based on their safety ratings (and not an anecdotal incident).
Now, instead, i have more questions, like “how many manufactures choose the electric door systems (over mechanical), why would they do that, and why wouldn’t an obvious safety /reliability issue be resolved…” etc.
More like a complete disaster of safety regulations than a “deathtrap” of a separate manufacturer, imo.
My understanding it suppose to make the vehicle more aerodynamic. But really i think it was because they were just copying what tesla was doing. Doesnt really matter tho. China didnt wait for them to figure how to make them safe
Deathtraps, really?! So do you mean only the Cybertrack - or Teslas in general (and what exactly dym, some stats or safety ratings)? Thanks!
