Summary

A Tesla Cybertruck crashed in Piedmont last November, killing three college students after hitting a cement wall and bursting into flames.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) attributed the crash to intoxication and high speed but found that the victims likely died from the fire.

Testimony revealed the vehicle’s doors would not open after the crash, preventing rescue attempts. A survivor was pulled out after a bystander broke a window with a tree branch.

The CHP’s investigation into the crash remains ongoing.

Issue here is I'm not sure I recognize where the sarcasm is. This description of the door functioning system looks plausible to me when we talk about a Swastikar.

~~i'm sorry for my rudeness, but i think that's a skill issue. Give it a couple more seconds of thought and realizing a shitty door locking mechanism/system faulting and not deliberately convoluted menu programming is pretty clearly the reason for the door failure.~~

you know i started that reply and then i found that NHTSA's staff has already been cut by 4% cause DOGE(pronounced "dough - ghee") and now im like yeah actually this might be the kind of thing that gets thru regulators now...

PS mods, if the skill issue comment is a rule breaker i can remove it, pwease dont ban me again for 'attacking the person and not the argument'.

My point, sadly.

We're already seeing ads in infotainment systems that cover the whole screen every time the car stops; a system this stupid to open a door, coming from Ketamine Karen, is not so improbable.

Also, no offense taken :)

In England we call it doggie, then? Like, how much is that doggie in the window?
