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.”
Oh cool. The deathtrap also has “cremation mode” enabled. Saves everyone the trouble I suppose.
I wonder when Tesla will start charging extra for cremation mode
