It isn't a safety feature, it's a danger feature!

Because they literally designed it that way, to close harder when there's an obstruction. Morons.

Classic Elon fanboy. Lol

This is the best summary I could come up with:

What happens when you stick your finger in the closing trunk—or, in this case, the “frunk”—of a Tesla Cybertruck?

“And to prove that wrong I’m going to put my finger completely flat against the Cybertruck this time.

I’ll put it completely flat and see if it crushes my finger because everybody is asking,” Fay continues.

These videos may have been funny at first, but watching someone literally break their finger in this perverse display of faith in Tesla or Cybertrucks or Elon Musk more broadly is getting pretty disturbing.

Apparently rather than interpreting your tapping on the car as a plea for help as it crushes your bones, the Cybertruck thinks you want the door to close harder.

Other vehicles have sensors that recognize something foreign like a human finger is in the way and doesn’t actively try to harm you.

To be fair it’s not a good practice no matter which car you’re using

The dumb fuck even tested it on a stick first and it snapped the stick.

“But first I’m going to test it out with this stick. This is exactly what I’m going to do with my finger. I’m going to put it right there and hopefully my finger doesn’t break like that but let’s find out,” Fay says

I bet this guy lives in Florida.
