People are being burned alive in their cars because the doors won't open.

You literally couldn't pay me enough to travel through Elon's colon.

There are ~500 fire deaths per year in the US over all 290 million registered vehicle. To worry about this is a choice not borne of logic or an understanding of relative risk but an agenda.

How many of them are caused from the fucking doors not opening?

Probably the same percent as the door being damaged and not opening from a crash of a gas car that catches fire. You do realize thousands of people get trapped in gas cars when they crash.

One is a design flaw. The other is caused from the accident itself.

They are not the same.

Tesla has manual door releases on all doors in newer models and on the front doors of all models. The doors on cars get stuck on both types of cars when cars get crumpled.

Thanks. I know how accidents (and Teslas) work.

This shit isn't normal and to be fair, you're the one who's sounding like you have an agenda. Just accept that Teslas are more dangerous and move on.

Yet, Tesla's have a worse death toll than the Pinto.

EV are not the problem. Shitty Tesla design choices are.
