That’s a terrifying way to die, and unfortunately, this would hold true for any vehicle with
“electric door systems, which can fail and trap occupants inside vehicles, particularly after a crash.”
What i actually expected was an actual comparison of EVs based on their safety ratings (and not an anecdotal incident).
Now, instead, i have more questions, like “how many manufactures choose the electric door systems (over mechanical), why would they do that, and why wouldn’t an obvious safety /reliability issue be resolved…” etc.
More like a complete disaster of safety regulations than a “deathtrap” of a separate manufacturer, imo.
My understanding it suppose to make the vehicle more aerodynamic. But really i think it was because they were just copying what tesla was doing. Doesnt really matter tho. China didnt wait for them to figure how to make them safe
