    Tesla: We made the truck safer.

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

    Tesla: You did it wrong.

    Why not just test it with a chicken bone or a hotdog?

    This is like testing a Chinese bullet proof west by shooting your buddy wearing it.

      Apparently they did, but after a failed close, it will for whatever reason close more forcefully the next time

        What?!? How is that programmed?!? Someone did more work for less safety this is a typical tesla moment.

          I’m glad I never have to deal with safety stuff for my own dev work, but this decision truly goes beyond me.

            I do safety, but for Software. And yes this decision is absolutely beyond me and i have no idea why anyone would think this is anywhere near acceptable. This sounds like grounds to sue.

      They did. You just need to read beyond the headline to discover that.

      The system has a feature that if you try to unsuccesfully close it several times it applies a little more pressure each attempt assuming there’s a bag or something that’s pushing the door from inside. This is quite unlikely to happen in a normal scenario.

    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.

        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.
