    Lol, news article in Toronto today, people being burned alive in a Tesla, as they couldn’t open doors. Careful what you wish for.

      Not really representative of most electric cars

        And the driver was reportedly doing over 120MPH when he slammed into the concrete pillar. Maybe the doors wouldn’t open because the car crumpled like a tin can at that speed. This is precisely why “the jaws of life” exist.

          I do think Tesla has unsafe door latches whether that was the issue in this particular crash or not. But that design issue is unrelated to electric vehicle technology
