US Investigates Tesla Over Child Safety Concerns with Model Y Doors

The US safety agency is investigating reports that the electronic doors of the 2021 Tesla Model Y can become stuck from the outside, potentially trapping children or others inside, especially if the 12-volt battery loses power. No injuries have been reported, but the issue raises safety concerns about the vehicle's manual door release mechanism, which is difficult for children and some adults to operate. The investigation is ongoing to determine the scope and severity of the problem.
