Tesla is being sued by the parents of a teenager killed in a Cybertruck crash.
The crash occurred in California on November 27, 2024, involving four passengers, with only one survivor.
The lawsuit alleges the Cybertruck's door handle design prevented escape during the fire.
Krysta Tsukahara, 19, died from smoke inhalation and burns, not the crash impact.
Tesla's electric door handles are under scrutiny for safety risks during power failures.
The Cybertruck has had eight recalls since its debut less than two years ago.
The driver, Soren Dixon, was under the influence of alcohol and drugs at the time of the crash.
A witness attempted to rescue passengers but could not save Tsukahara due to the fire.
Tesla faces previous lawsuits over vehicle safety, including a $243 million ruling in Florida.
