Exclusive: “There’s my challenge to Elon,” attorney S. Scott West told The Independent. “Make these vehicles so safe that I don’t have to do this anymore.”

A Tesla Cybertruck owner in Texas was unable to escape after rolling it into a ditch last year, experiencing an unthinkable demise as the batteries powering the $100,000 stainless steel SUV burst into flames with such intensity the helpless driver's skeletal system literally disintegrated, his family says.

Michael Sheehan, 47, "burned to death at 5,000°F – a fire so hot his bones experienced thermal fracture," according to a gut-wrenching lawsuit his widow and parents have now filed against the electric auto manufacturer headed up by billionaire Elon Musk.

"He was eight inches shorter in length than he was before he burned," attorney S. Scott West told The Independent. "That's thermal fracture."

People are stupid and get confused when in a panic. So we put pushbars on Emergency exits. Multiple redundent signs to say how to get out. Why are our cars any different.

I wasn't able to remove the speaker cover hiding the manual release cable on those stupid wing doors the model x has. I was not panicking while trying to escape a battery fire. Handleless doors should be illegal.

Push bars on a moving vehicle is a lawsuit all on its own, so I dont think we need to go that far. But electronic only doors is definitely stupid.
