Lawsuit Blames Cybertruck’s Door Handle Design After a Fatal Crash

In a recent development, a lawsuit has been filed blaming the door handle design of Tesla's Cybertruck for a fatal crash. The lawsuit claims that the unique door handles, which are flush with the vehicle's body and retract to open, played a role in the accident. The incident occurred when the Cybertruck's door handle failed to deploy, trapping the occupant inside during the crash. This is not the first time Tesla's door handles have come under scrutiny, as regulators were already investigating the design on different Tesla models prior to the Cybertruck lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges that the door handle design is a safety hazard, as it can fail to operate during emergencies, potentially trapping occupants inside the vehicle. The case highlights the ongoing concerns surrounding the safety and reliability of Tesla's innovative features, which have faced increased scrutiny from regulators and the public. The outcome of this lawsuit and any potential regulatory actions could have significant implications for the future design and development of the Cybertruck and other Tesla vehicles.
