"You are holding it wrong!" π€£
Literally Tesla's response
I'm sure these "engineers" were confused everytime they saw an elevator door not mercilessly crush people.
This breakthrough technology could finally provide a way to teach people on the MTA not to hold the doors.
They learnt about consent from Elon.
Probably βgraduated collegeβ the same way as Elon too
It that point why not just have some blades slide out on the third try?
Why bother when the door itself is an effective guillotine?
The vehicles deny reality, same as their creator...
He did the test wrong because he's experimenting with "safety" algorithms that the manufacturer has provided little-to-no documentation on and is having to come up with answers on his own. Maybe he wouldn't be "doing it wrong" if Tesla hadn't over-engineered every aspect of their piece of shit truck in the first place. This thing is a solution in search of a problem, and it'll chop your fingers off until it finds it.
Most general question, what is the main purpose of this car? Why should people buy it?
It is a tank.
Steel walls for rich guys who want to protect their asses from masses of poor people around.
What should the door of your tank do if you want to close it, but some bonehead does not move his fingers out, repeatedly?
Now hurry, finally! This rich guy wants to get away from here! BAM!!
If it increases in pressure every time, Iβm now curious how many times you need to close the trunk to cut a finger off
That was very nearly my exact same thought. Maybe not for curious children with carrot-sized fingers, but for adults, how convenient! Business competitor's body won't quite fit in your fancy frunk? Just while away on your phone for about 10 minutes, let the cat do its magic, and off go the legs! Travel-sized!
I wonder if you can get the frunk to critical velocity at the touch of a fly by constantly pumping it up like a pump action gun.
Escape velocity? π
He forgot to turn on Finger Safe Modeβ’οΈ before closing the trunk
But this feature requires an extra monthly subscription, that wasn't included with the package of the YouTubers
Well to be fair, that functionality is a pretty pricey add-on.
They're gonna add this in and call it "Jeremy mode", just like the existing Joe Mode
That's why Apple gave up on designing a car. All of the potential customer base has already been captured by Tesla.
