I was asked by a friend in the Tesla community to look into a Twitter thread by Austin Fire Info. The thread shared details of an accident involving a Tesla. The account tweeted that a Tesla was involved in a collision and that the fire extended to the awning of … [continued]
Tesla has had a bit of a tortured relationship with door handles. It started with Tesla’s “self-presenting” door handles on the Model S.
