Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

And the driver was reportedly doing over 120MPH when he slammed into the concrete pillar. Maybe the doors wouldn't open because the car crumpled like a tin can at that speed. This is precisely why "the jaws of life" exist.

I do think Tesla has unsafe door latches whether that was the issue in this particular crash or not. But that design issue is unrelated to electric vehicle technology
