Family sues Tesla claiming faulty doors led to daughter’s death in burning Cybertruck

The family of a college student killed in a Cybertruck car crash has sued Tesla, claiming the design of the vehicle’s doors were a “death trap.”

Krysta Tsukahara, 19, and two others were killed when the driver of the vehicle rammed into a tree in Piedmont, California in November 2024. The Savannah College of Art and Design student, riding in the backseat, was trapped inside the vehicle as it burst into flames, unable to find the manual door releases when the vehicle’s battery caught fire.
