Do NOT put your finger in the Tesla Cybertruck Frunk

Tesla released an update that is supposed to make the Tesla Cybertruck frunk safer. After some testing, Tesla actually told me I did the test wrong. We learned that it has an algorithm that increases pressure over time. I put my arm, then hand, then finger. According to the algorithm it thinks I wanted the frunk closed. Perhaps a big bag was in the way. Using this information, that means it closed on my finger harder than my hand and way harder than my arm.

It should start driving by itself after it traps your finger. Very cool.

i love that the engineer told you that there is "a correct way" to get your finger cut by a tesla

[JoshuaWilt]

I thought the dumbest thing you could do with a cybertuck was to buy one... Thanks for proving me wrong.

[jeffp]

It chopped a finger sized carrot and then he put his finger in?

[GrubbyPigeon]

This sounds like a person making excuses for their partner in an abusive relationship

[KrikitKaos]

An algorithm that increases pressure over time when it should be an algorithm that detects an obstacle and reverses the close, and they claim he 'did the test wrong'? This is incredible. Good work everyone.

"you didn't test our safety mechanism right, try doing it like this and you're fine!"

dude must not have kids.

Such a lead engineer thing to say lmao. “You’re putting your finger in the frunk wrong” no dummy, you over engineered a trunk closing. It shouldn’t close with something in the way.

[LeonBrowneee]

The fact that his most basic, primal survival instincts are the ONLY thing stopping him from doing it again. Hes willing to sacrifice his hand for this company. His body just physically won't let him. Insanity...

[DirtyTesla]

The more it tries the harder it gets? Wow Tesla calm down

[manuelh.]

Imagine being such a Tesla fanboy that you risk your own health for the company.

"The carrot didn't stop it. Let me try my finger." 💀

[RishabhGKoenigseggRegera]

It lopped off the carrot so you just said ok let's to body parts now...

[nicklantagne]

That was honestly the most poorly thought-out and least safe way of attempting to test something like that.

[tatata]

Any other company : “That’s dangerous, we need to fix that”.

Tesla : “Let’s have it close with more force”.

[georgeburdine]

Goes to show you the intelligence of the person buying this thing, or is it the lack of intelligence. Now, it looks like this guy can test 9 more cybertrucks.

[td]

Should've used your junk instead and put the whole kit in there so you won't pass your genes.

[pwevans]

Surely if the frunk encounters resistance then it means something is in the way and should be moved. Why would any engineer think the solution should be that instead of waiting for the obstruction to be removed that the frunk should just close harder and harder?

[aperson]

"It increases pressure every single time you try". I am glad the garage door openners don't work that way.

Please keep doing the finger test on different cars. I absolutely loved watching this, very informative!
