    Well when you get cars designed by people who think safety regulation can be ignored, this is what you get.

      Teslas are among the safest cars on the road by all metrics. It’s just that they get the most press out of all EVs, because they are 1) sort of a poster child for electric vehicles due to how influential the Model S was and 2) due to that idiot at the helm of the company receiving constant attention from the press.

    The title made it sound like a full lock-in. But one survived.

    Harper grabbed a bar from his truck and handed it to another bystander, who managed to break the back window and pull the young woman to safety.

    Tesla has faced criticism in the past for the design of its manual release levers, which are considered poorly designed and unintuitively placed.

      Idk what the exact definition of a full lock in is, but if you have to break a window to get someone out I’d think it still qualifies since the locks were all engaged.
