A Wisconsin family sues Tesla, blaming a 2016 Model S design flaw for trapping and killing five in a 2024 crash.
A Wisconsin family has sued Tesla, alleging a design flaw in a 2016 Model S contributed to the deaths of five people in a November 1, 2024, crash in Verona, where the car struck a tree and caught fire.
The lawsuit claims the lithium-ion battery caused electronic door systems to fail, trapping occupants, with rear passengers needing to manually locate a hidden release under carpeting—a process the plaintiffs call non-intuitive and time-consuming.
The family argues Tesla knew of the risks from prior incidents and a separate NHTSA investigation into door handle failures in Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, which has seen multiple reports of children and adults being trapped in hot cars after battery power loss.
The case, Bauer et al v Tesla et al, is pending in Dane County court, and Tesla has not commented.
