Families Sue Tesla Over Fatal Cybertruck Door Design Flaws
Parents of three college students who died in a Tesla Cybertruck fire in Piedmont are suing Tesla, alleging the vehicle's doors failed to open as it burned, potentially trapping the victims inside. The lawsuit highlights issues with the vehicle's door system, which is powered by a 12-volt battery that can fail if the vehicle loses power, and cites Tesla's recent acknowledgment of the need to redesign these doors. The victims' families claim Tesla's design contributed to their loved ones' deaths, and are seeking damages for wrongful death.
