A Tesla driver and two kids were burned alive after crashing into a tree because rescuers were unable to open the electronic doors, according to police.
That so much extra crap to work around a design choice that doesn’t really bring anything beneficial to the situation. These issues are basically unheard of on most other vehicles. Meanwhile there’s an article seemingly every few months about more people dying in Tesla’s because the doors wouldn’t open.
Every time anything goes slightly amiss with a Tesla, the media play it up because people like you who hate Tesla want to read about Tesla failure, so it drives engagement. Many many other cars have accidents where people get stuck in the car. There are other cars that have frameless windows and electronic handles, but you never hear about them not because they’re any safer, but because no one cares about them.
I don’t particularly hate Tesla. I even looked at buying one years ago. The reason I didn’t was because they have new manufacturer issues and logistics problems. Due to their CEO, I have no interest in them at all anymore.
When I was looking their build quality was atrocious. They were also impossible to get in my state as they don’t allow self owned dealerships. Which is all Tesla was doing then. So you had to leave the state to buy one, bring it back, register it, and then pay sales tax.
It’s not that other manufacturers are better or don’t have issues. They’ve just been around longer and have already had and corrected a bunch of the minor issues that Tesla is still dealing with.
Yes Teslas have that too. They have a redundant power to the doors to minimize failure. But we’re talking about the case where that fails, no?
