Tesla Model S Driver Burned, Killed When Car Doors Won't Open

Description

A driver died after his 2016 Tesla Model S crashed and burst into flames, in Davie, Florida. Witnesses said the Tesla’s airbags didn’t deflate after the crash and the car’s electronic exterior door handles did not deploy. First responders were unable to get the driver out of the car. According to Digital Trends, when the car’s airbags inflate, the exterior door handles are supposed to extend. The Model S starting burning again while being transported away from the crash site and again at the tow yard. The Tesla Model S uses a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery, which are generally safe. However, if a battery is damaged or defective, lithium can explode or catch fire when it comes in contact with water or water vapor in the air. Reports of battery-related fires in Tesla sedans were reported as early as 2013.

Tesla Missed Goal, Delivering Half Million Vehicles

Odd Andersen/AFP via Getty Images Tesla had set a goal of 500,000 deliveries for 2020. On Saturday, it announced it missed the target by 450 vehicles. Some analysts had said the ambitious target could be tough to reach because of a slump in auto sales during the coronavirus pandemic. The company reached its production goal for the year, making a total of 509,737 vehicles. It also said production of its mid-size SUV, the Model Y, has begun in Shanghai. Consumers cut back spending on cars during the pandemic and Tesla's sales in the first half of 2020 dropped 15% from the second half of 2019.
