Tesla Plans to Redesign Door Handles That Could Trap Passengers in Cars

Tesla is facing scrutiny from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) over concerns about the door handles on some of its vehicles. The investigation was prompted by complaints that the handles can lose power, potentially trapping occupants, especially children, inside the cars. The NHTSA is looking into the issue and has received multiple reports of incidents where the door handles have failed to operate as expected, leaving passengers unable to exit the vehicle. Tesla has acknowledged the problem and has stated that it plans to redesign the door handles to address the safety concerns. The investigation is ongoing, and the NHTSA will continue to gather information and assess the potential risks posed by the door handle issue. Tesla has not yet provided details on the timeline or specifics of the planned redesign, but the company has stated that it is committed to ensuring the safety of its vehicles and their occupants.
