Adam Cook, a Detroit robotics and car engineer who has worked for Ford, Chrysler, and Toyota building their safety and quality systems, told The Oaklandside that a root-cause analysis is needed to fully understand what happened in the Piedmont collision. But he noted that there have been published reports in the past few years of people who died inside Tesla vehicles because they couldn’t exit a damaged car or because bystanders could not open the doors.
The main issue is that the doors of a Tesla, as well as those of some other manufacturers’ electric vehicles, rely on electronic power “to disengage electronic latches,” the Detroit engineer said. The electronic design schemes rely on the car maintaining power to open the door instead of a simple mechanical latch.
On the Cybertruck, this entry-and-exit issue may be worse, as there are emergency pull cords in “obscure locations which often require rear seat passengers to remove door paneling to access,” Cook said in an email. This mechanism is described in the owner’s manual of both the Cybertruck and the Model Y vehicles.

the core drivetrain of electric cars is far less prone to wear than ICE vehicles simply because there are far fewer moving parts. electric cars have higher failure rates because in the US they are targeted at the kind of consumer who is wowed by everything being computer, not because electric drivetrains themselves are more prone to problems |
