your definition of "decent products" is different from mine.

How often does it happen in Chevys or Toyotas? Getting trapped in a car after a crash is common enough that there’s a cutesy nickname for the machine used by rescuers to get people out.

Getting trapped in a crushed car is quite different from the door handles not working or not being discoverable in an emergency.

> How often does it happen in Chevys or Toyotas?

three things in life are certain: death, taxes, and whataboutism from Tesla apologists

from the article I linked:

> In an effort to take a comprehensive and systematic look at this issue, Bloomberg sought to examine every fatal EV crash in the US involving a fire. From there, the reporting centered around cases in which there was documented evidence that victims had survived initial impact, and that nonfunctional electric doors had impeded either the occupants’ efforts to escape or rescuers’ attempts to save those inside the vehicle.

this has nothing to do with the Jaws of Life. this is about the car catches fire and the door handles stop working.
