Both the Tsukahara and Nelson families have filed lawsuits against Tesla and the Cybertruck owner’s estate. The lawsuits allege that Tesla showed a “conscious disregard” for consumer safety, claiming the company knew about dangerous flaws in its electronic door systems but failed to fix them.
The Cybertruck’s 12-volt battery-powered doors became inoperable after the crash, and although Tesla includes a manual release, the lawsuits say it is too difficult to locate and operate during an emergency, effectively trapping passengers inside.
Tsukahara’s family attorney said:
“The design of this vehicle failed Krysta. There was no functioning, accessible manual override. Her death was preventable.”
Krysta’s father called the incident a horror story and questioned how a trillion-dollar company could release a vehicle “that’s not safe in so many ways.”
The families are seeking punitive damages, arguing that while impaired driving contributed to the crash, Tesla should still be held accountable for a vehicle that “entombs people” rather than allowing them to escape.
The Cybertruck, launched in late 2023, has already faced recalls, declining sales, and mounting legal pressure. As investigations continue, the case raises serious questions about Tesla’s safety design choices and emergency protocols in high-tech vehicles.
