A harrowing Tesla crash has triggered two lawsuits against the company, as grieving families seek justice and answers in the wake of an unimaginable tragedy.

They’re visually divisive, and tied to one of the world’s richest and most controversial men, but a lawsuit claims the Tesla Cybertruck became something else in one crash: a death trap.

Trouble opening Tesla’s doors dates back to the early days of the Model S. An otherwise positive New York Times review published in September 2012 described opening the sedan’s doors as a multistep process that sometimes required several attempts. “Tesla sometimes takes its urge to reinvent too far,” the author wrote.

Krysta Tsukahara survived the initial crash, but power failure to the electronic doors prevented would-be rescuers from saving her.

Lawsuits filed Thursday by parents of two college students killed in a Tesla crash say they were trapped inside as the car burned and filled with smoke because of a design flaw that makes it difficult to open the doors in fires.

US safety regulators are probing Tesla's electric-powered door handles, responding to reports that they stopped working, leaving children trapped.

Tesla Inc plans to add at least one new service center every week in 2021, Electrek reported on Thursday, citing a source familiar with the matter.

Tesla's new Robotaxi service is now available for the public to test and use, with a waitlist anyone can sign up to.
