Customers resort to breaking windows because of ‘life-threatening and extremely dangerous’ design

US safety regulators are probing Tesla's electric-powered door handles, responding to reports that they stopped working, leaving children trapped.

Some complaints allege that children were trapped in the back seats and could only be freed by breaking the windows.

The NHTSA said the probe is focused on 2021 Tesla Model Ys after receiving nine reports of door handles not working possibly due to low battery voltage.
