The ‘central computer’ doesn’t control the car’s controls. It is made to come to sudden stop if it fails and the person can still steer.
The doors have manual overrides that defeat the locks and open the doors. People who have been “trapped in their Tesla” when it lost power haven’t even looked at the manual. Every door and hood has a way to open it from the inside and there is even a way to emergency release the charger if you have to.
Ever single issue is as much an issue for ICE cars as EV’s. Bullet resistant windows on most cars are a risk, however some teslas have an override for their power windows. ICE cars have been hacked and taken control of through the computer in their entertainment system, that like a Tesla, actually is the main computer system for their car. ICE cars have Electric door locks as well.
If the accident was powerful enough to rupture the battery with the metal signposts, it could also open up the gas tank and set it on fire as the car was going in excess of 65.
Its not about EV vs ICE its about having a dumbass design the car
The manual overrides are hidden away so anyone who hasn’t trained on using them is dead meat. also you probably just got a concussion from crashing your car, so they’re probably useless
Shattering windows are a safety feature that were removed for what reason exactly?
The transportation secretaries sister died because of these super predictable issues with teslas
I love the idea of electric vehicles but that doesn’t mean an idiot should design them
OK, on the designed by an idiot, or in this case concepted and OK’d by an idiot, and the rest of the engineering and work of making that work was actually left up to good engineers, we both can agree on.

The problem is that the engineers are not in control, and if they say one of the bosses ideas is bad they get fired.
