This accident could be a scene in a horror movie.
I’m not a Tesla fan by any measure, but I edited the headline for this post. The original headline made it seem like a specific feature of the Cybertruck trapped the victims, but then the article explains it was really that the battery was burning so fiercely that the police just couldn’t free them. The deadly feature of the accident was the lithium battery, which is common to many makes and manufacturers of EVs.
Yeah, they’re a Chinese manufacturer. One of the rare ones that were allowed to sell vehicles in most western countries.
You’re probably right about the Teslas getting more media attention because Tesla, Elon Musk, etc. It gets more clicks than Hyundai for sure.
Tesla is 48% of US EV market. Probably accounts for something.
