Exclusive details: ‘It has been a struggle for [our client] to even talk about it enough for us to be able to file this lawsuit on her behalf,’ attorney Quinton Seay told The Independent
My car was destroyed, the firefighters came to isolate the battery before it caught fire because the damage was extensive to everything. Still, my car had normal handles, so when the car was hit and everything went to shit, the doors still worked and I could be evacuated from the vehicle. Everything worked as intended, airbags, safeties…
In the Tesla accident, the first thing that didn’t work was the damn door handle. This is the most basic thing of a car: a functioning door. And they fail at that, and not just once, this is commonplace in teslas.
It’s really not commonplace, it gets attention because of the horror. In particular I’ve seen several times cars on the side of the road ripped open by jaws of life. Apparently those were also too damaged to get people out of the doors. Where are those headlines?
I’d rather see results of a fair investigation whether there was anything that could have gone better, rather than internet speculation.

At the same time, the vehicle’s electric-powered door handles became inoperable once the battery system caught fire, preventing the two from getting out or rescuers getting in – a serious issue that has similarly doomed others riding in Teslas – Shantorria Herring’s complaint alleges.

This could have gone better. This doesn’t happen on other cars and this is also the reason why europe wants to ban this kind of door handles
