A 1999 Range Rover suffered a catastrophic failure of its electronic door locking motor, leaving a passenger trapped inside. Because the motor is integrated into the locking mechanism, the interior door panel must be destroyed to access and replace the part. Local mechanics in Texas reportedly refuse to work on the vehicles due to their notoriously complex and unreliable engineering.
Tesla Motors Executive Plane Crash, Mechanical Failure Theory
A twin-engine aircraft carrying three Tesla Motors employees crashed into a transmission tower and houses in East Palo Alto after departing San Jose Airport in heavy fog. While some speculate about foul play involving big oil interests, technical analysis suggests a mechanical failure, possibly an engine stall, caused the plane to veer left and lose altitude before hitting the tower.
