This could be said about any EV ever that uses lithium ion batteries.
Petrol of course being famously non flammable.
No, most doors have fucking handles.
I was mistaken in my assumption. Figured the Tesla would have an obvious clear way to escape quickly without power in an emergency but no.
Or any vehicle with an internal combustion engine, because those burn way more often.
But their fires aren't reported on as much because it doesn't cause as much ~~ragebait~~ engagement.
EV fires make the news because fire departments often struggle to put them out.
It ain't just ragebait, Lithium battery fires burn much hotter and are way harder to deal with. All it takes is one cell to be damaged to cause a chain reaction. We gotta have better types of batteries first, and we're getting there. New batteries exist, they are cheaper, and safer but they are bulkier.
Pretty much all Chinese EVs use LFP batteries. You can hammer a nail into one and it'll just stare at you like you're some kind of dumbass.
Western made ones use NCA or NCM batteries because of range anxiety. But those ones are armored AF so good luck doing any significant damage to them. And I suspect they'll also switch to LFP within the next decade or so anyway.
Teslas are especially unsafe, and often lock people inside when they fail. This is because Tesla is run by one of the dumbest men who ever lived.
U mean there isn't any manual override at all?
yes but actually no. There's a hidden pull cord under the bottom mat of the "map pocket" that you have to remove, along with whatever else you were storing in there at the time. That's assuming the cord hasn't fallen out of reach inside the door or otherwise become inaccessible during an accident, of course.
The owner's manual section on "how to open the door if there's no power" spans 4 pages (viewed on mobile) and has 3 diagrams to illustrate the steps.
(incidentally, opening the frunk with no power is a separate page with ten steps and begins, "To open the powered frunk when Cybertruck has no power, you need a power source that provides between 9V and 16.5V"... it's like they're trying to be shit.)
That's utterly insane wtf.
Not ones with real door handles.
Only if they get into a salt water flood.
