一个威斯康辛家庭起诉Tesla, 指称2016年S型模型的设计缺陷导致5人死亡, 2024年11月1日, Verona坠毁, A Wisconsin family has sued Tesla, alleging a design flaw in a 2016 Model S contributed to the deaths of five people in a November 1, 2024, crash in Verona, where the car struck a tree and caught fire. 诉讼主张锂离子电池造成电子门系统失灵,困住乘客,后方乘客需要手动找到地毯下的隐蔽释放——原告称之为非直观和耗时的过程。 The lawsuit claims the lithium-ion battery caused electronic door systems to fail, trapping occupants, with rear passengers needing to manually locate a hidden release under carpeting—a process the plaintiffs call non-intuitive and time-consuming. 该家庭辩称,Tesla知道以前事件的风险,NHTSA在模型3和模型Y车辆中对门把手故障进行了单独调查,多次报道说,在电池丧失电后,儿童和成年人被困在热车里。 The family argues Tesla knew of the risks from prior incidents and a separate NHTSA investigation into door handle failures in Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, which has seen multiple reports of children and adults being trapped in hot cars after battery power loss. Bauer等人诉Tesla等人一案正在Dane县法院待审,Tesla没有作出评论。 The case, Bauer et al v Tesla et al, is pending in Dane County court, and Tesla has not commented.
