"That's what made me really scared and furious, because this wasn't a simple defect," he told The Oaklandside. "This wasn't an oversight with one thing where shit happens. This was a systemic design flaw that was affecting those two doors because they were the most heavily used."
"There's no doubt in my mind the same thing would happen to all four doors had they been used with the same level of frequency,"

A Tesla Cybertruck passenger door next to a one-year-old swung open while driving onto a highway ramp, narrowly avoiding child ejection thanks to the car seat. Inspection found a missing screw from the striker on the passenger door and a loose screw on the driver door. An expert reviewing photos and video suspected improperly welded "weld-nuts" on the door pillar that gradually dislodged as doors were shut. The family filed a complaint with the National High Traffic Safety Administration and described the failure as a systemic design flaw that could endanger unbelted rear passengers.
