"Canada: 4 Indians burned to death in car after Tesla ‘electronic doors failed’; sole survivor's saviour speaks out" - Ashima Grover, Hindustan Times, 12NOV2024
>The fiery tragedy happened last month when the electronic vehicle burst into flames after hitting a guard rail.
>The sole survivor of the incident was a woman in her 20s, who fortunately made it out after Rick Harper, a heroic Canada Post employee, smashed a window of the burning Model Y with a metal pole.
>As the Toronto Star recorded, the Canada Post hero confirmed that he “couldn’t open the doors.”
>He explained, “I would assume the young lady would have tried to open the door from the inside, because she was pretty desperate to get out.”
>While the cause of the crash is still being investigated, the case has drawn attention to Tesla’s electronic doors failing the victims. The EV’s doors need power to open as a button unlocks them instead of handles.
