    This was already tested with a carrot and the nightmare truck cut the carrot clean in half. This moron had to try it for himself lol!

      That is included in this video. Tesla released a "safety update" to the software, supposedly to fix the guillotine, and he put his finger on the line to test it

      Plenty of people manage to get hurt by teslas when they're not moving (mostly due to lithium fires)

      The fix is just drilling a wood screw through the plastic to secure it in place, apparently Tesla has been sending people to Cybertruck owner meetups in order to do it and reduce their liability, lmao.

      Thelma and Louise reboot but the suicide is an accident because their Cybertruck pedal jammed causing them to plunge into a cliff

    It's interesting how prior to Elon Musk becoming a household name and the 2020 crypto boom, I never really saw a concentration of stupid people like this. Like these people would’ve been on EPIC FAIL COMPILATION #50 back in like 2012. I’m genuinely baffled. Muskrats keep talking about how “the west is fallen” but they are normalizing child-like obsession and “””curiosity””” and loyalty. Even back in the early 2000s, Americans were hysterical over Iraq, but Musk fans live in a bubble of peace and wealth and happily display their ignorance. It’s fascinating.

    Dear Mr. Musk, sir,

    I have lost my finger in a mishap with your Cybertruck. I buried the digit in our backyard in a ultra-mini Cybertruck-themed casket with our youngest daughter doing a three-volley salute on a cap gun. Despite the pain and the loss of a finger - I am still a huge fan of you, Telsa, and SpaceX. Human beings will be numbering in the tens of millions on Mars by the end of the century. Everyone on Earth should look forward to this and appreciate you and your monument efforts to make this happen.

    Before I go I would be amiss if I didn't mention an issue that does understandably bother me. I would appreciate it if you improved safety features on the Cybertruck.

    Thank you very, very much,
    Mike Mark

      The ultimate question post revolution: Is is more beneficial to use them as a guillotine and risk the motor breaking before the 3rd billionaire, or just stuffing it full of them?

      You are sentenced to self driving in LA. The windows cannot be opened when you inevitably crash into oncoming traffic.

    I saw one on the road the other day and they just don't look like a real car.

      Drove out to sign papers for a customer to sell their Toyota and I saw that they had a Cybertruck in the driveway to replace it

      Literally cringed on seeing it

          They had another new Toyota too so at least they won't be stuck with it

          But man are they gonna take a loss

      I live in kind of a touristy mountainy area in California, I've seen a bunch. Makes me cringe seeing them come up a narrow windy road with the sheer cliff on one side knowing that their vehicle's controls are notoriously untrustworthy. Also we don't have a supercharger so they have to drive an hour and a half to the nearest city to get to one, hopefully they planned that far ahead!

    Okay, real talk, he says it auto-opened after detecting resistance

    What are the odds you can jam something in there and pry or inflate it and it will just open for you? With any other car I'd say no way they made that rookie of a mistake but.... maybe? are these things free lootboxes lmao

      That bone is at least fractured to say nothing of the flexor tendons and ligaments, hate to see what happens once the adrenaline runs out, crush injuries are deceptive cause they're not always bloody

      Masterful gambit sir! Using the up-yours-woke-moralists of defining everything subjectively line of argumentation is truly a sign of your intellect!

      The wokes keep changing definitions for everything. Who knows what they mean when they say “unsafe” and “crushes”. For all we know, they could be referring to their tiktoks!
