He used a banana, an organic dildo, and a carrot. It snapped the carrot and then he decided to try with his arm, hand, and finger.
It snapped the tip of the carrot, which wouldn't be a lot of resistance
Based on what it didn't cut through, his finger should have been safe but apparently Tesla designed the thing to keep increasing the pressure if it detects resistance each time until it can close, which is absolutely baffling. I don't know of any other safety feature that turns down the safety the more it activates. The fact that it reacts to the exact same conditions differently each time should, in itself, be deeply concerning for any safety feature.
It might have been dumb of him to try it, but that doesn't change that it's still unsafe.
I wonder if FSD backs up after running over a pedestrian to confirn that 'Yup, it was something with the road there' before continuing to drive forward again.
Not say I agree but here is the logic. Self closing trunks are pretty common on many vehicles. A problem that is/was (I think a lot of manufacturers have mostly fix it) happen was the trunk lid would detect the resistance from a grocery bag or something. You know the stuff that in the past you could have just shut the lid with a little force. When this resistance was felt the lid would open back up. A good thing for safety but it can lead to the trunk never closing.
I bet when Tesla wrote the code they forgot to give it a maximum pressure it could close with regardless of how many times it closed. Or they set the maximum pressure way too hard.
He slammed his peantus in the hood?
No, that would ruin the steel of totally high quality.

Someone somewhere is going to do this now. They'll probably be from Florida.
Then it's his own damn fault. Even if he tries suing, he will lose.
That's why you get "don't put living animals in the microwave oven" in the instructions.
If Tesla didn't explicitely wrote "don't put your f***ing finger in the way on purpose after multiple attempts to close it!" he may have a chance.
He will plead a trauma from the loss of trust in his beloved car brand and the credibility damage on his Youtube channel and ask for M$.
No, it snapped the carrot before the update. After the update, it only snapped the very tip. That's a pretty important detail imo.
So you're confirming that it snapped the carrot? And then he tried it with body parts.
Yes, it snapped the thin tip of the carrot. I didn't watch the video, but it sounded like he went from safest to least safe, so produce first and body parts afterward (arm, then hand, then finger).
