      Did the Metallica finish divert your attention given you’re usually such a Radio head when driving, that you wanted to rather eat a bag of nine inch nails than having to look at this thing?

      Oh to be ignorant of the cyber truck. There are so many complaints about this piece of crap daily online. They lock out their owners, have body panels fall off, have very few protections against auto closing doors cutting off fingers, the accelerator pedals can get stuck at full speed while moving, they are uncoated stainless steel which corrodes, and replacement parts are insanely expensive.

        I saw a YouTube short of someone claiming Tesla fixed the trunk door cutting people’s fingers off. He demonstrated with a banana at first. It detected the banana and immediately opened the door again. It barely made a dent into the banana. So he’s like imma try my finger now lol. So he tries his finger and of course that fucker clamps down hard on this mf’s finger, which gets stuck for a short while before the Tesla gives up and opens the door again. But his finger had a huge and deep dent in it, bro. You could tell he was in big pain. His hand was shaking minutes after the event.

        I don’t know what’s worse, the door, or this idiot thinking a banana is an accurate prop to use in place of a finger. I would’ve used something smaller than my finger. If it detected that, you would think a finger would be safe…

          One other thing here is that the sensitivity of the detection is actually decreased with repeat attempts. This is pretty standard.

          The reasoning here is that people will check after the first failure. And if they then send the close request again, the car will try a bit harder. Maybe it’s just some bit of oversized luggage that can be pushed down.

    Drive it anyway. The Cybertruck can handle it. The Cybertruck can handle anything! I heard it’s made out of 1978 Hot Wheels parts and 1982 Megaforce machismo.

          Diesel fuel would probably work ok, gasoline will evaporate and make it rust quicker.

          The way Elon’s politics have gone it wouldn’t surprise me if he started promoting fossil fuel use.

            Sorry to say, you’re basically wrong on all ends.

            Diesel exhaust is one of the quickest things known to cause cancer. And gasoline is like the quickest (not safest) to clean metal.

    Thank goodness they put the sticker on the window. It would have damaged the door.

      You joke, but when my parents bought an electric car, the cops in their small town started harassing them. My mom drives like a saint but they keep pulling her over and giving her tickets that aren’t valid. She said she’s caught them waiting for her to leave the grocery store so they can follow her out of the parking lot and try to catch her doing something wrong. But she doesn’t, so they just pull her over anyway. This isn’t even in a rural town where people are rolling coal. It’s just a small suburb. Why do they care?

    Even the tires are ugly. That’s… kind of impressive. I never once considered tires could be uglier than other tires. But here we are.

      Wait, yeah… Why do they look like that? I’ve literally never seen ugly tires in my entire life before. This is the first time.

      Yeah it’s meant to have uglier wheels that fit with those ugly tires, possibly only with the ugly tires.

      I think it’s as close low polygon wheels they could get before they become hexagonal.
