There. That's the video. Don't bother with the article that is just narrating the video.

I usually rather skim through an article than load up a video, especially because the video captions are usually terrible

Usually videos don’t include cyber truck owners in pain. Most videos are of celebrations or children spilling milk on rugs (boring) so I understand your philosophy.

Brilliant point. I watched the video and got to see a cybertruck owner hurting

Hi, based on your comment, I think we are soulmates.

Tesla: We made the truck safer.

YouTuber: Ok, let’s test it. Ow, fuck, that hurt a lot.

Tesla: You did it wrong.

This is exactly how I imagine the demographic that buys Cybertrucks.

How long before someone tries the penis test?

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 months ago

It would probably make them regret having such a hard on for Musk and Tesla.

thlammed penith in the car door, you say?

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think you confused penis with tongue.

I love the reaction when he went back for seconds!

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The YouTuber started the video by closing the frunk on produce like a carrot, cucumber, and banana before the update was installed.

The frunk closed on his finger and left it shaking, with a dent, and what looked like a small cut or skin tear.

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

The engineer told him the frunk increases in pressure every single time it closes and detects resistance, Judkins said.

The YouTuber attempted to try the test again with his finger without trying other objects or his arm first but backed away every time the frunk was about to close.

Judkins said the update might make your banana safe, but fingers aren't quite in the clear.


The original article contains 505 words, the summary contains 129 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Why does it increase in pressure each time the fronker opens and closes

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

They wanted it to crush a bag if it got in the way.

(I’m not joking. That’s their explanation.)

What does a human do when they try to close a door but it wont shut because there's too much stuff behind it? They apply more force.

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago

Humans usually don't make the greatest decisions, as proven by the guy testing here.
