The parents of Krysta Tsukahara and her friend Jack Nelson claim that the company that Elon Musk helped to become the richest man in the world for years and can move faster to fix the problem, but not the two prisoners flames and smoke that they finally killed.
Tesla did not answer a request for comment.
The new legal threats to Tesla, which was submitted to the Supreme Court of Alameda County, will only be carried out a few weeks after the Federal Suppery Authorities opened an investigation into complaints by Tesla drivers of problems with stuck doors. The probe and the suit come for the company at a delicate time to convince the Americans that their cars will soon be safe enough to drive in the driver's seat without someone.
The 19 -year -old Tsukahara and Nelson (20) were in November 2024 in the back of a cyber truck, as the driver, drunk and on drugs, according to the suits in a tree in San Francisco Piedmont, California. The driver also died. A fourth passenger was pulled out of the car after a rescuer had broken a window and got it in.
The Tsukahara lawsuit was first reported by the New York Times.
Tesla doors were at the center of several crashes, since the battery, which supplies the unlocking mechanism with electricity, can be destroyed in a fire and the manual publications that this system overwrite is difficult to find.
The lawsuit follows several others who have claimed various security problems with Tesla cars. In August, a jury in Florida decided that the family of another dead College student, who was killed years ago by an outstanding Tesla, was to receive more than 240 million US dollars.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which opened its Stuck-Tür in the past month, examines complaints from drivers that they could not open doors after leaving their cars to get their children out and in some cases the window had to break them.
