Testimony Reveals Doors Would Not Open on Cybertruck That Caught Fire in Piedmont, Killing Three
sfist.com
The Highway Patrol’s investigation into a November Cybertruck crash in Piedmont where three college kids died is finding two very Tesla problems: the vehicle immediately caught fire, and its doors would not open.

Summary

A Tesla Cybertruck crashed in Piedmont last November, killing three college students after hitting a cement wall and bursting into flames.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) attributed the crash to intoxication and high speed but found that the victims likely died from the fire.

Testimony revealed the vehicle’s doors would not open after the crash, preventing rescue attempts. A survivor was pulled out after a bystander broke a window with a tree branch.

The CHP’s investigation into the crash remains ongoing.

      They were friends home from college Thanksgiving break and driving dad’s car. I still don’t think that explains your question though.

        I wonder what dad thinks of this? He’s probably all in and ordered another Leon before the funeral. That’s the thing with a lot of these MAGAs, even when it personally affects them, they still will not change their point of view or give pause to even think about it. Dad will probably double down on the CT now and think it’s all the “lamestream” media that is making this up. It’s very difficult to fight that level of fanaticism.

        I think the point is if you’re dumb enough to drive drunk, you’re dumb enough to use the “self” driving system while drunk and at least have a lesser chance of a fatal accident than driving drunk.

        The (not) fsd system might still kill ya, but it does get a lot right as well.
