> But electronic door mechanisms like these have also proven to be unreliable, and possibly dangerous. "Possibly dangerous" is a vast understatement. There is an ongoing lawsuit claiming that a cybertruck's door stopped working after a crash, trapping three occupants who burned to death. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/piedmont-cybertruck-crash-tesla-lawsuit/4053492/ https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/piedmont-cybertruck-cr... A very similar case in China was caught on camera. Car crashed, caught fire and the doors stopped working. At least in this incident everyone made it out alive. https://www.reddit.com/r/SweatyPalms/comments/1qwao0m/ev_disaster/ https://www.reddit.com/r/SweatyPalms/comments/1qwao0m/ev_dis... Now go read Tesla’s own manual instructions on how to open doors when the power is off. There is no way I could reliably do it if the car just crashed and there is smoke filling the cabin. I don't know how any engineer could have thought this is safe to be put in a vehicle. https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/models/en_us/GUID-AAD769C7-88A3-4695-987E-0E00025F64E0.html https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/models/en_us/GUID-AAD769C... https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-A7A60DC7-E476-4A86-9C9C-10F4A276AB8B.html https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-A7A60DC...
