Early reports suggest that they were trapped in the vehicle. Horrifying and sad if true.
- defrost 2y agoThis AP report states: Someone who also had been at the function, but was driving in a separate car, was able to pull the surviving victim out of the Cybertruck. indicates they were likely not trapped .. unless an external person was able to open doors that an internal person was unable to because { reasons? }.
- parl_match 2y agoThere's a bunch of other reports and posts, it's big news here in Oakland. It sounds like one of the doors got popped open but the other victims were partially incapacitated or unable to find the release. Judging by the speed of impact, and shape of the body/chassis, it's likely they were alive after impact and burned to death.
- qwerpy 2y agoIf there’s anything uniquely attributable to Tesla/Cybertruck I’m sure it will be breathlessly reported on soon.
- forgetfreeman 2y agoSeems like they buried the lede pretty hard here: "Other recalls covered rearview camera images that don’t activate immediately after shifting into reverse, trim pieces that can fall off, windshield wipers that can fail, and an incorrect font size on instrument panel warning lights. In April, the futuristic trucks were recalled to fix gas pedals that can get stuck in the interior trim." I'm just imagining what SNL would look like if Ford fucked in that badly in that short a period of time, especially when you take into consideration other reported issues around trapped passengers in other vehicle models from the same manufacturer.
- akira2501 2y agoYea, it's a real surprise that a new and unique product with seemingly little regulatory oversight causing death is going to cause people to report on it!
- parl_match 2y agoTesla's consistently subpar emergency door release situation is definitely worth reporting on, tbh.
