Tesla sued by family of California teenager killed in fiery Cybertruck crash

When power to the truck's electric doors was shut down by the fire, the four passengers were locked inside with no way out. The lawsuit alleges the design of the Cybertruck's door handles is at fault for Tsukahara's death. From the inside of the truck, when electricity is cut off, the only way to exit a rear door is by pulling a cable that's underneath a pocket liner under the door's storage compartment, according to a report by Bloomberg.
