Summary

A Tesla Cybertruck crashed in Piedmont last November, killing three college students after hitting a cement wall and bursting into flames.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) attributed the crash to intoxication and high speed but found that the victims likely died from the fire.

Testimony revealed the vehicle’s doors would not open after the crash, preventing rescue attempts. A survivor was pulled out after a bystander broke a window with a tree branch.

The CHP’s investigation into the crash remains ongoing.

    I don’t think that a lot of the people who would be likely targets for such an attack are the same people who would be buying Teslas in the first place.

      They might well already have Teslas. They are far more likely to drive them (I think) than the good old boys out in the country.
