Lawsuit claims Tesla design flaws led to fatal Model 3 crash and hindered rescuer efforts.

A lawsuit filed in federal court alleges that design flaws in a Tesla Model 3 led to a sudden and uncontrollable acceleration, resulting in a crash into a utility pole that caused the vehicle to ignite. The incident claimed the life of a woman and left her husband with severe injuries. The lawsuit further contends that another defect related to the vehicle’s door handle design obstructed bystanders attempting to assist the driver.
