Testimony Reveals Doors Would Not Open on Cybertruck That Caught Fire in Piedmont, Killing Three
sfist.com
The Highway Patrol’s investigation into a November Cybertruck crash in Piedmont where three college kids died is finding two very Tesla problems: the vehicle immediately caught fire, and its doors would not open.

Summary

A Tesla Cybertruck crashed in Piedmont last November, killing three college students after hitting a cement wall and bursting into flames.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) attributed the crash to intoxication and high speed but found that the victims likely died from the fire.

Testimony revealed the vehicle’s doors would not open after the crash, preventing rescue attempts. A survivor was pulled out after a bystander broke a window with a tree branch.

The CHP’s investigation into the crash remains ongoing.

    Yep small caliber proof for sure

    My favorite part of decimeters is 1 inch is 1/4 decimeters. 3 decimeters is foot.

    So if it’s like 8 inches. I can just say 2 decimeters

    From there you can say 20 centimeters or .2 meters

    If something is 12ft it’s 36 decimeters or 3.6 meters

    There’s no easy way to turn 8 inches into centimeters other than knowing that 1 inch is about 2.5 centimeters or just estimating in centimeters to begin with.

    You could say 8 inches is 2/3 of a foot. 3ft to a meter. So 1 ft is .30 meters. Then it’s 2/3 of a foot, so .30×2/3=.2.

    Decimeters are the missing link for Americans to convert

    Yards to meters is 1

    Feet to meters is 3

    Inches to decimeters is 4

    Things like a 36 inch doorway, 3 feet, would be 9 decimeters or .9 meters

    Common measurements of inches:

    12 - 4 Decimeters

    18 - 4.5 Decimeters

    24 - 8 Decimeters

    30 - 9.5 Decimeters

    What they would use otherwise would be

    .4 meters

    .45 meters

    .8 meters

    .95 meters

    Saying the standard doorway is 9 Decimeters is way better than saying .9 meters.

    If you rounded to 1 meter. You’re adding 3 1/3 inches. Which is a 10% increase.

    A decimeter tape measure would be nice.
