Tesla Is Sued by Survivor of Deadly California Cybertruck Crash

Tesla Inc. was sued by the sole survivor of a 2024 Cybertruck crash in California that killed three college students who were unable to escape the burning vehicle, the latest in a growing body of litigation faulting the automaker’s electrically powered doors.

Jordan Miller was rescued by a friend who witnessed the middle-of-the-night crash in the San Francisco suburb of Piedmont and smashed a window with a tree branch after the doors wouldn’t open. The other occupants — driver Soren Dixon, 19; Jack Nelson, 20; and Krysta Tsukahara, 19 — all died in the vehicle of smoke inhalation.
