    do you have what it takes to dig five touchscreens menus deep in size ten font to engage the emergency brake as you accelerate uncontrollably towards a bus full of nuns

      You try to engage the parking break in the tablet menu, but it's actually an Easter egg that changes the horn sound to Duke Nuken saying "I've got balls of steel"

        Shortly before the crash, you think "nice prank, my good sir"

      Lmfao I saw that the 2024 model 3 forces you to use the touchscreen to go engage Drive and Reverse by swiping up or down, respectively, on the left edge of the screen. Those mfs also put turn signals on a little thumb pad on the face of the left spoke of the steering wheel instead using a stalk like every car since 1930

        The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con drift problem, except it's on your steering wheel and you will get pulled over by a cop or rear-ended when it stops working.

    It's 1:43 long. You might have to find the vid later if "due to a technical error" Elon has the tweet removed from Twitter.

    Tesla owners always sound like they are doing a bit.

    The original upload

    el.chepito (@el.chepito1985) has created a short video on TikTok with music original sound.

    Every Cybertruck owner is like I paid 80k for this and it almost killed my entire family. Small issue. Love the car!!

    it was actually $122k

    Why is this not surprising at all

    because every new car had small issues. just this one happens to be dangerous

    Tesla Cybertruck Deliveries Reportedly Halted | Investor's Business Daily

    Tesla (TSLA) has halted Cybertruck deliveries, according to social media chatter, possibly to address a problem with the accelerator pedal. [...] Tesla does not have a media relations department, and often doesn't disclose key news to the public. [...] On Saturday, noted Tesla influencer @wholemarsblog wrote on Elon Musk's X that "Tesla has stopped all Cybertruck deliveries for 7 days due to an issue with the accelerator pedal."

      In this case the gas pedal might benefit from some of that glue. (Strong stuff.)

    Are there just not any regulations for anything? These cars have been getting people killed for how long now?
