Good thing, too. Have you seen the video of how the cybertruck lacks basic safety to avoid chopping off your finger when closing the hood? Other automatic doors will detect if an object is in the way, but the cybertruck will keep closing, and it has sharp unpadded edges.
- ultimoo 3y agoI have been injured on more than occasion by sharp edges and heavy doors on the Model Y.
- cevn 3y agoI thought only my Model Y had sharp edges. The 3 seems fine.
- kbos87 3y agoI've seen that video. Are you honestly going to tell me that there aren't similar pinch points on nearly every other vehicle on the road?
- John23832 3y agoThe point the poster was making was that there are sensors at similar pinch points on other cars to avoid the hazard.
- philipov 3y agoAs well as thick padding that the cybertruck lacks, and rounded edges instead of angled corners.
- unregistereddev 3y agoI'll bite: Yes. Manually-closing doors have pinch points, but every major manufacturer that has auto-close doors includes force sensing to avoid damaging things (or people, or digits). Power windows usually have this as well, at least on modern cars.
- kbos87 3y agoI'm going to admit being wrong about this after looking into it further. I saw a video of a Rivian's protection against a similar problem. I wasn't drawing the distinction of manually closing vs. automatically closing. I will say that the automatically closing Tesla trunks I've seen won't crush someone if you get in its way. The video in question implies it would crush anything in the path of the hood when they actually found a very particular unprotected spot. But, Rivian for example does protect against this happening at that particular location, so it's still a fair criticism.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoYes, the Cybertruck lacks these standard features as cost-saving measures
