A YouTuber's finger was left shaking and dented after he tested out if the Tesla Cybertruck update actually makes the frunk safer.

What person with an automated cargo door closure mechanism has thought “stop protecting my stuff and just fucking close”?

I’ll admit it annoys me when there’s something in the way that keeps my door from latching and it reopens, but I’d rather have to clear the door and shut it manually than it force itself closed and jams the door or break my shit.

Its just like elevators, really. You put your hand in to stop the doors closing, they open again before touching your arm. Next time they close gently on your arm. Third time, the doors snap shut and the elevator ascends without further warning, resulting in traumatic amputation.

Wait what? Are there actually elevators “programmed” this way‽ (can this behavior even be changed in the controller?)

Because I have never “tested” this behavior per se (I mean you mostly want your elevator to move anyway so you ideally remove the obstruction the first time it didn’t fully close…)

I’ve seen cases where it takes some time to the group of people in the elevator to figure out the obstruction. Because it won’t even touch the object, just reopen again and again.

So no, elevators don’t do that, and I assume the parent comment is sarcastic.

… …No.

It’s going to assume you want to close the frunk and maybe something like a bag is getting in the way, which would make it close harder.

What’s next? When you press the brake padel the car is going to assume that you want to slow down? Wow, that’s some fantastic wisdom from Tesla!

THAT’S THIS!!!

He went through a bunch of vegetables and, admittedly, it was pretty impressive how it handled them. But then with no hesitation it took off the tip of the carrot and he still decided to try his finger

Are there any crashes already involving pedestrians? I really wonder how broken those pedestrians are after the hit. I think the chance to survive a hit from a Cybertruck is minimal.

And I am even surprised that it is allowed on your streets.

Murica, vehicles with sharp edges and assault rifles at walmart is where freedom is at.

To be fair, the survivability of being hit by any big US pickup is pretty small. Perhaps the cybertruck is even worse though.

Pickups are explicitly exempted from a lot of crash/pedestrian safety laws in the US (I think related to them being classed as commercial vehicles), despite every other car on the road there being a pickup.

Judkins said that after the finger test, a lead cybertruck engineer at Tesla said he did the video wrong.

This is sad. The cybertruck is a deathtrap on wheels and somehow “money” got it to pass any “money” to safety tests is beyond me…

When I initially heard about the Cybertruck I was really hoping it would stay a concept and never get made.

I would have preferred a ‘will it blend’ format with the ultimate test being the Cybertruck’s own keyfob (you have one job!)

He used a banana, an organic dildo, and a carrot. It snapped the carrot and then he decided to try with his arm, hand, and finger.
