    I watched a few in depth reviews about this truck because i was really interested in it (i liked the design at first). I am not sure how this tin can passed ANY safety test, the quality is so shitty, i am really not that surprised something like this happened

      I’m pretty sure the only tests conducted on the cybertruck were done by Tesla themselves. No conflict of interest there, of course.

    Am I blind or does the article not say how exactly the dweebtruck prevented the rescue?

    I am assuming they got locked inside it and it would not let them out. But I’ve seen that happen in movies with fossil fuel cars (yes sorry that is the only benchmark I have). Or it could be the burning aspect of lithium batteries.

      From the way it’s worded I think it’s the fire. Lithium fires are really hard to put out.
