Teenager’s parents Kryst Tsukahar, who was killed last year in a crash concerning one of Tesla’s cybers, sued Elon Musk’s company and claimed that the design in the vehicle caused their daughter to be impossible to escape the accident.
The incident held on November 27, 2024, attended four passengers who were in cyber when a speed vehicle powered by an intoxicated driver hit the tree and burst into flames in the San Francisco area. Three, including Tsukahara and the driver, died and left only one survivor.
When the vehicle broke into flames, the power of the electric door of Cybertruck was switched off and locked four passengers without a downtime.
The Court of Justice of Tsukahara’s parents claim that Musk, the richest man in the world, was aware of the defect for years, but did not move fast enough to solve the problem, leading to a situation that left 19 years dead.
“Her death could have been prevented,” said the parents of adolescent Carl and Noelle Tsukahar. “She was alive after the crash. She called for help. And she couldn’t get out.”
“The design of this vehicle failed crysta,” said Roger Dreyer, lawyer representing the Tsukahar family, was cited Like The Guardian said. “There was no functioning, accessible manual rewriting or emergency release to escape.”
“Tesla was repeated and noticed that her dependence on electronic door systems had formed a serious risk of capturing. Owners, passers -by and the first respondents documented cases where Tesla residents survived the impact forces but could not escape when electricity failed and fire.”
What is the problem with Tesla doors?
The design of the Tesla door handles that do not protrude from the body of the vehicle as a traditional design was a signature design.
This means that Tesla’s doors have often been controlled in cases of accidents, because the battery that drives the unlocking mechanism can easily be destroyed by fires and manual release mechanisms that can open the sealed doors.
This court, reported First The New York Times, is the latest in a long line of lawsuits that allegedly claimed a number of security problems with Tesla vehicles.
At the beginning of this year, in August, the jury in Florida was acting on the action against the electric vehicles manufacturer decided that a family of another deceased student who killed the escaped Tesla should have damages of $ 240 million.
