Four people died in a Tesla crash in Toronto on October 24, when the vehicle lost control, hit a guardrail, and caught fire. Reports indicate that the electronic doors failed to open, trapping the passengers inside. A 25-year-old woman survived after a Canada Post employee broke a window to help her escape. The doors were inoperable, likely due to a loss of power from the crash, making it impossible for the occupants to exit. Experts have raised concerns about the safety of Tesla's electronic doors in accidents. The intensity of the fire was linked to the vehicle's battery system, which can exacerbate fire hazards during collisions.
