    You’re getting downvotes by the anti-Tesla hate. But you are correct.

    It being a Cybertruck didn’t really have anything to do with it. One person was saved, so clearly they were able to get into the vehicle and to the passengers.

    Car fires happen all the time, people die in ICE car fires every day. There are an average of 33 car fires every hour in the US. But only the Tesla fires make headlines all the time.

        Except at least one occupant was able to be saved from the vehicle… By a random nearby person, not even emergency personnel.

        So clearly they were not trapped here, like you want to claim.

          It wasn’t a random passerby it was a motorist behind the tesla who saw the crash happen and immediately rendered aid - as the article explains.

          Even they could only get 1 person out, so clearly the other three were trapped. No doubt by the intensity of temperature preventing further aid, if not because the electrics then failed trapping the other three.

            My point was it was a random civilian that helped, not a trained first responder, like I already pointed out.

            Or the other three were already dead from the crash itself. We don’t know from the article, because yet again, the article doesn’t actually mention anything new. There is no new information here that wasn’t already obvious in November when this happened.

            • The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau said driver Soren Dixon, 19, and passengers Jack Nelson, 20, and Krysta Tsukahara, 19, suffocated from smoke inhalation. Burns contributed to the deaths, the bureau said.
