Cybertruck Survivor Sues Tesla Over Inoperable Doors After Fatal Crash
The sole survivor of a fatal 2024 Cybertruck crash in Piedmont has filed a lawsuit against Tesla, alleging the vehicle’s electronic door handles and obscured emergency release mechanism trapped occupants inside as the truck caught fire. This legal action, brought by Jordan Miller, echoes similar claims made by the families of the two passengers who perished, asserting that Tesla has been aware of these design risks for over a decade. Miller’s attorney highlighted the critical failure of external door access in a high-speed crash scenario, emphasizing the potential for tragedy when relying solely on electronics. The lawsuit further details Miller’s “catastrophic” injuries and brings claims of negligence, design defect, failure to warn, and failure to recall against the automaker.
