“Tesla Cybertruck Nightmare: Owner Suffocates, Trapped by Futuristic Doors—Family’s Lawsuit Exposes Chilling Secrets! ‘Leaked’ Docs Suggest More Hidden Risks—Is This the End of Tesla’s Dream? Social Media Frenzy, Insiders Speak Out—Could Your Life Be at Stake? The Shocking Truth Behind the Electric Revolution Revealed!”

In a moment of survival, the door could not be opened, the power was cut off, while the handle was almost invisible in the darkness and smoke of the fire.

On a summer evening, in the suburbs of Baytown, Texas, 47-year-old Michael Sheehan drove home from work in a Tesla Cybertruck he bought less than six months ago. Suddenly, the car lost control, crashed into a concrete ditch on the side of the road, overturned. Mr. Sheehan did not die instantly, but the worst began to happen: the Cybertruck caught fire.

In a moment of survival, the door could not be opened, the power was cut off, while the handle was almost invisible in the darkness and smoke of the fire. In the end, he suffocated in the same car that was advertised as “the future of transportation”.

A few weeks later, a lawyer representing Mr. Sheehan’s family filed a lawsuit against Tesla in Harris County Court, accusing the company of failing to design basic safety codes, with doors that rely entirely on electricity, handles that hide too deeply, and a battery system that can easily explode in the event of a crash.

Mr. Sheehan’s death opens up a series of serious questions about the future of Cybertruck. Launched in November 2023, this was once considered a symbol of Elon Musk’s ambitions: a fancy geometric design, a tank-inspired stainless steel casing, and the promise of a groundbreaking electric vehicle era.

However, in less than a year, this car has encountered at least 8 recalls, from faulty accelerators, falling body panels, to non-working wipers. Of course, there is no more serious mistake than leaving a person unable to get out of a burning car.

What’s worse is that Mr. Sheehan’s case is not unique. The car that was once considered “safer than any other pickup truck” is making people more skeptical than ever: has Tesla traded human lives to pursue something called futuristic design?

For conventional vehicles, when the power is cut off, the car door can still be opened with a mechanical handle. With the Cybertruck, the door handles are “hidden” as part of a minimalist look. Tesla said it was equipped with a manual opening mechanism inside the car, but in the situation of fire, smoke, panic and time in seconds, not everyone found this handle.

The Cybertruck’s battery system is also a controversial issue. Although Tesla advertises that the battery offers high capacity and range, experts are concerned about its ability to dissipate heat and explode en masse. That’s exactly what killed Mr Sheehan: the car didn’t explode instantly, but slowly heated up until it became a ‘mobile incinerator’.

The victim’s family is now asking Tesla for more than $1 million in compensation. Meanwhile, safety organizations such as NHTSA began to pay attention to the series of accidents related to this model. A comprehensive investigation into the doors, batteries and emergency exits is being proposed but for Michael Sheehan’s relatives, all investigations are too late. They lose their loved ones forever just because of a car that is “too smart”.

From a new technology icon, Cybertruck now faces a bleak future. Every wheelchair carries both hope and fear: that in the age of technology, what seems to be protection – may be the fastest killer. Michael Sheehan’s death is a wake-up call not only for Tesla, but for the electric vehicle industry as a whole: beautiful design, high performance – never allowed to stand above the safety of human life.
