Exclusive: “There’s my challenge to Elon,” attorney S. Scott West told The Independent. “Make these vehicles so safe that I don’t have to do this anymore.”
A Tesla Cybertruck owner in Texas was unable to escape after rolling it into a ditch last year, experiencing an unthinkable demise as the batteries powering the $100,000 stainless steel SUV burst into flames with such intensity the helpless driver’s skeletal system literally disintegrated, his family says.
Michael Sheehan, 47, “burned to death at 5,000°F – a fire so hot his bones experienced thermal fracture,” according to a gut-wrenching lawsuit his widow and parents have now filed against the electric auto manufacturer headed up by billionaire Elon Musk.
“He was eight inches shorter in length than he was before he burned,” attorney S. Scott West told The Independent. “That’s thermal fracture.”
Yes, and how many models does Tesla have? 3? 4? Even divided by 4, 232 still is way WAY more than pinto and this is basically for ALL the Tesla models anyways
You’re comparing total fires with fires which resulted in deaths like I was. It says 83 Tesla deaths from fires/explosions. Also, like someone else said, It would be important to see how many cars were sold for each model. For example if Tesla sold 2 million model 3s and Ford sold 300,000 Pintos then you’d get an idea of the danger inherent with owning that model.
