Electric door failures in a Tesla Model Y trapped Samuel Tremblett after a crash, causing death by smoke inhalation and thermal injuries.
Mark Lucas parked his electric Vauxhall Vivaro van at Rathbone Square just off Oxford Street in December 2022. But a mechanical malfunction caused the car park's automated stacker system to break down. About 25 vehicles were stuck for 28 months and despite retrieving them in April, those affected say not a penny of compensation has been paid. Mr Lucas said huge debts had left him living with a daily fear of losing HCS Furniture which he co-owns in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
