A lawsuit filed Thursday by parents of a college student killed in a Tesla crash says she was trapped inside as the car burned because of a design flaw that makes it difficult to open the doors in fires. The suit filed in California state court by the parents of Krysta Tsukahara alleges she burned and suffocated to death even though the company that has helped Elon Musk become the world’s richest man knew about the flaw for years but failed to fix it. Tesla did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
