Testimony Reveals Doors Would Not Open on Cybertruck That Caught Fire in Piedmont, Killing Three
sfist.com
The Highway Patrol’s investigation into a November Cybertruck crash in Piedmont where three college kids died is finding two very Tesla problems: the vehicle immediately caught fire, and its doors would not open.

Summary

A Tesla Cybertruck crashed in Piedmont last November, killing three college students after hitting a cement wall and bursting into flames.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) attributed the crash to intoxication and high speed but found that the victims likely died from the fire.

Testimony revealed the vehicle’s doors would not open after the crash, preventing rescue attempts. A survivor was pulled out after a bystander broke a window with a tree branch.

The CHP’s investigation into the crash remains ongoing.

    Yeah, I watched one from official Tesla youtube where the guy shot it with a bunch of stuff.

    It did stop the 9mm with the rounds they chose

    The buck shot pierced the door and cracked the window because it was rolled down.

    Buck shot is smaller caliber with higher velocity.

    I need to find a video of someone trying to get a 9mm bullet to go through it rather than basically a paid advertisement.

      This one is recent and it does various calibers / velocities

      it did stop a subsonic and supersonic 9mm. The supersonic one was pretty close to going through though, I wouldn’t have been surprised if he did a dozen or so if one would have.

      The shots that ripped the metal instead of piercing through it were pretty wild.
