Safety Concerns of Tesla Cybertruck Door Button Design and Accident

TapTechNews July 16th news, Tesla Cybertruck has been controversial due to its safety issues. Most people worry about its square shape, but in fact, almost all modern SUVs and trucks are about the same size, and the safety is also far from ideal.

However, some people pointed out that the body panels and design of Cybertruck do have safety hazards in some cases. The recent unfortunate experience of a car owner confirmed this. According to Carscoops, the owner's father-in-law was injured when trying to open the door to enter the Cybertruck and had to go to the emergency room for stitches.

TapTechNews noticed that unlike traditional vehicles, Cybertruck doesn't have a door handle, but uses a door opening button. This design is not an exception, but the button position of Cybertruck is rather special. Its front door button is exactly between the front and rear doors, meaning that when the rear passenger closes the door, if the front passenger reaches for the door opening button at the same time, it is very easy to have an accidental pinch injury incident.

The car owner is SpykeDaddy, a member of the Cybertruck Owners Club. This was a terrifying experience for all of us, he wrote in a forum post. Fortunately, my father-in-law only got seven stitches in the emergency room and a splint on his finger. The top joint of his index finger was pinched and there was a very serious laceration. After seeing the angle on the truck last night, I couldn't believe his fingertip was saved and there was no fracture.

SpykeDaddy also wrote at the beginning of the post: I really like this truck and have driven it to the extreme. It can be seen that he hopes that other Cybertruck owners can be aware of this potential safety hazard and avoid it. At the same time, we also have to wait and see if Tesla will redesign the position of the door opening button or take other improvement measures in future versions.
