Left-leaning sources frame this story by emphasizing the most dramatic and severe aspects of the Tesla door handle investigation, particularly the reports of children trapped and windows broken. They broaden the narrative by linking the current probe to a pattern of past, more severe incidents involving internal entrapment and burning vehicles, even when these are outside the immediate scope of the NHTSA's focus. This approach collectively heightens public concern about Tesla's safety record and corporate accountability.

"The investigation into Tesla’s most popular model comes after numerous reported incidents in recent years of other problems with opening Tesla doors, sometimes trapping drivers in a burning vehicle after accidents and a loss of power."
