Tesla Traps & Kills 4 People

[Revoltingest]

I'd never design a vehicle with only electronic locks.
Trapped cuz of a power failure? Not me.

Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash

The only survivor of the October 24 fire was a woman in her 20s who was able to get to safety after a quick thinking passer-by smashed a window of the burning Model Y car to free her

unable to escape from a burning Tesla when a crash
disabled its electronic doors.

That's horrible! One of the worst ways to die! RIP to them.

And the CEO of this corporation is now going to be in control of our economy.

To have no plan B in case of an electronic
problem isn't stupid...it's a conscious decision
to make the car less safe.

To anyone who rides in a Tesla, get one of
those special hammers that'll break car windows.

Maybe.
If he offends Trump, he'll be toast.
And that happens to a lot of Trump's associates.

He'll likely find a way. And I am going to laugh at Musk. As always.

Amd people wonder why I just don't trust those cars. That's a horrible death and horribly obvious safety failure design that never should have happened.

 

[Viker]

But. I do feel bad for the victims and their families.

Everyone should.have those as a basic safety kit in their car (I keep mine in the side thingy in the door), along with a tool for cutting the seat belt.

Musk has it in for the poor deer too.

The owner of the car said the collision was caused by a "perfect storm" of factors, including low light and the curvature of the road.

Yeah and absolutely no manufacturer that I know of aside from perhaps maybe a few obscure ones where they had the good old fashioned crank down windows like they had in the 60s and 70s.

Any car in a crash can have their windows disabled, I don't know too many that have wind down windows anymore.

The more electronics the car has , the more a manufacturer can soak you for on the price.

It's sad to die inside most developed car in world.
Must safety required first, not money first.

The article notes there is one:

There is a manual override in Tesla cars but the feature is not widely publicized, experts say.

In the event of a crash passengers are directed to pull away a palen in the door and tug at a cable underneath to open the doors, but safety watchdogs have said dazed or panicked crash victims may not be able to search for the feature after a car crash.

 

[Revoltingest]

Burned alive while trapped in a coffin.
Horribly painful & terrifying.

Did you hear that Tesla is getting into home appliances?
They have a new oven. It seats 4.

Again, this is bad design.
"Human factors" in engineering is critical to function.
The procedure you quoted above wouldn't be available
to the consumer for several reasons...
- Must thoroughly read the manual ahead of time.
Who does that?
- Be able to remember the procedure in an emergency.
Panic ruins memories.
- Be able to execute the procedure in an emergency. Not
all occupants would even be physically able to remove a panel.
- Unless one is very familiar with Teslas, the natural reaction in
an emergency would be to use the door handle. to escape.
People will focus upon what they expect, even if it doesn't
work.

Good engineering design is based upon what people will/can
actually do, ie, what people expect, either by prior experience,
or after extensive training (eg, pilots). Tesla drivers are typically
accustomed to cars with mechanical door handles. This must
be a design criterion. Tesla fails on human factors design.

My Toyota Sienna has electric windows,
but mechanical door handles.

You sound very socialist...blaming capitalism.
People want electronics & will pay for it.
Manufacturers respond.

Detecting a deer, & avoiding it is difficult.
No matter where they are, or which way
they're moving, they'll do something different.
I detected one earlier this year. But not in time.
So I hit it. $15,000 damage.
I wish there were an option for cars to have
guards to limit the damage from hitting deer.
Alas, lack of demand, & meeting CAFE standards
means it doesn't happen.

Doors should fail safe to unlocked.
In the same way industrial processes fail to safe.
For instance all paper cutting guillotines fail to blade up not down.
Car doors could be the same in the case of power failure or accident.

Someone must have made the choice not to do so, at the design stage.
And again when examining the safety provisions.

From now on it should be a minimum requirement. If there is no manual override.
