Another day, another Tesla has burned its passengers alive after a veered crash into a tree.

You’re looking at a tree completely knocked off its roots.

Investigators say they found the bodies after putting the fire out, reiterating the fatal flaw with Tesla’s poorly designed door controls.

As commenters have pointed out many times, the emergency procedure for a Tesla door makes it a death trap.

The problem is that very few people know where these emergency releases are…. To make matters worse, Tesla does not instruct customers about that and does not label these releases in its cars. All info is restricted to the manuals and EGRs, which are only digital. If the vehicle fails or crashes, it is very unlikely that they will be accessible. […] To reach the manual releases for the rear doors, you have to remove a rubber mat at the bottom of their storage boxes. After that, you have to open a small plastic lid, which the TFL folks only managed to do with a flat-head screwdriver. Again, it is a procedure that demands tools and accurate information. Imagine if the car is on fire just after a crash…

We don’t have to imagine. The number of people killed in their Tesla from fire has grown to over 70, more than three times higher than the Ford Pinto.
