Electronic Door Latch Failure: Smoke in the Cabin
Training & Consulting: https://www.stachedtraining.com
In early November 2024, a Rivian R1S in Florida lost power, filled with smoke, and the driver couldn’t get out. The electronic door latches were dead, the screens were flashing warnings, and she was trapped inside the vehicle.
This video breaks down what actually happened, why low-voltage failures can disable electronic latches, how this compares to Tesla’s system, and why firefighters handled the scene the way they did. This wasn’t a battery fire, but it’s a clear reminder that when the 12-volt system collapses, your normal exit may not work.
