This place should be being flooded with donations. A thing that we can do is make sure they have a war chest proportional to that of an Ivy League school.

"Yesterday, we received notice from the federal government that our grant had been terminated and part of the reasoning was that we no longer align with the White House policies.”

Teslas, like all his products, are designed to kill people inside and outside the car, in the most horrible ways, and making rescue impossible

Warren Wells, AICP @warrenjwells.bsky.social · Mar 19

Making door latches dependent on the vehicle having power is a criminally bad design decision, and almost certainly was the direct cause of these teens' deaths.

Adam Cook, a Detroit robotics and car engineer who has worked for Ford, Chrysler, and Toyota building their safety and quality systems, told The Oaklandside that a root-cause analysis is needed to fully understand what happened in the Piedmont collision. But he noted that there have been published reports in the past few years of people who died inside Tesla vehicles because they couldn’t exit a damaged car or because bystanders could not open the doors.

The main issue is that the doors of a Tesla, as well as those of some other manufacturers’ electric vehicles, rely on electronic power “to disengage electronic latches,” the Detroit engineer said. The electronic design schemes rely on the car maintaining power to open the door instead of a simple mechanical latch.

On the Cybertruck, this entry-and-exit issue may be worse, as there are emergency pull cords in “obscure locations which often require rear seat passengers to remove door paneling to access,” Cook said in an email. This mechanism is described in the owner’s manual of both the Cybertruck and the Model Y vehicles.

“If vehicle power was lost, I am not sure how the Cybertruck doors can be actuated from outside of the vehicle. My suspicion is that they cannot,” Cook said.

If you don't know Wanda's work- that's shocking! Because she's the best! Oh and edit- I didn't mean to say she was 'the first' to do author-illustrator/lettering combo but that she pushed that forward quite a lot. More on @Moonbow.books lnkd.in/gqqXz9R8 #wandagag #millionsofcats #newtypeface
