This was already tested with a carrot and the nightmare truck cut the carrot clean in half. This moron had to try it for himself lol!

[-] buttwater@hexbear.net 59 points 4 months ago

That is included in this video. Tesla released a "safety update" to the software, supposedly to fix the guillotine, and he put his finger on the line to test it

No Musk invented it my-hero

[-] buh@hexbear.net 58 points 4 months ago

these are the only people who can hurt themselves with a car that isn't moving

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 31 points 4 months ago

Plenty of people manage to get hurt by teslas when they're not moving (mostly due to lithium fires)

Bro came this close to having to change the gears on the screen with his severed finger like a stylus 💀

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

Bro

You misspelled "Hero".

It’s giving finger guillotine

[-] sexywheat@hexbear.net 52 points 4 months ago

yo weren't all these recalled recently due to a jamming accelerator pedal or something

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 33 points 4 months ago

The fix is just drilling a wood screw through the plastic to secure it in place, apparently Tesla has been sending people to Cybertruck owner meetups in order to do it and reduce their liability, lmao.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 29 points 4 months ago

Yeah the pedal falls off and causes it to jam. Poorly made bazingamobile junk.

[-] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 22 points 4 months ago

In the process we learned they'd only sold like 1500 by the time of the recall.

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

Thelma and Louise reboot but the suicide is an accident because their Cybertruck pedal jammed causing them to plunge into a cliff

It's interesting how prior to Elon Musk becoming a household name and the 2020 crypto boom, I never really saw a concentration of stupid people like this. Like these people would’ve been on EPIC FAIL COMPILATION #50 back in like 2012. I’m genuinely baffled. Muskrats keep talking about how “the west is fallen” but they are normalizing child-like obsession and “””curiosity””” and loyalty. Even back in the early 2000s, Americans were hysterical over Iraq, but Musk fans live in a bubble of peace and wealth and happily display their ignorance. It’s fascinating.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 45 points 4 months ago

Dear Mr. Musk, sir,

I have lost my finger in a mishap with your Cybertruck. I buried the digit in our backyard in a ultra-mini Cybertruck-themed casket with our youngest daughter doing a three-volley salute on a cap gun. Despite the pain and the loss of a finger - I am still a huge fan of you, Telsa, and SpaceX. Human beings will be numbering in the tens of millions on Mars by the end of the century. Everyone on Earth should look forward to this and appreciate you and your monument efforts to make this happen.

Before I go I would be amiss if I didn't mention an issue that does understandably bother me. I would appreciate it if you improved safety features on the Cybertruck.

Thank you very, very much,
Mike Mark

Can we convert cybertrucks into guillotines in the revolution?

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 35 points 4 months ago

They're almost as portable, too!

[-] Magician@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

Too bad they're more dangerous than regular guillotines.

[-] KoboldKomrade@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

The ultimate question post revolution: Is is more beneficial to use them as a guillotine and risk the motor breaking before the 3rd billionaire, or just stuffing it full of them?

[-] rio@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

You are sentenced to self driving in LA. The windows cannot be opened when you inevitably crash into oncoming traffic.

[-] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 38 points 4 months ago

I saw one on the road the other day and they just don't look like a real car.

[-] Des@hexbear.net 52 points 4 months ago

you looked too quickly and the car just failed to render

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago

the simulation devs are lazy because of woke

DEI (Doesn't Even Interpolate)

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 28 points 4 months ago

the state of this pop-in smh

[-] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

I saw it approach me from the rear view mirror and was like wtf?

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 22 points 4 months ago

Drove out to sign papers for a customer to sell their Toyota and I saw that they had a Cybertruck in the driveway to replace it

Literally cringed on seeing it

[-] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago

Oof. That guy is gonna regret that soon.

[-] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

They had another new Toyota too so at least they won't be stuck with it

But man are they gonna take a loss

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

I live in kind of a touristy mountainy area in California, I've seen a bunch. Makes me cringe seeing them come up a narrow windy road with the sheer cliff on one side knowing that their vehicle's controls are notoriously untrustworthy. Also we don't have a supercharger so they have to drive an hour and a half to the nearest city to get to one, hopefully they planned that far ahead!

[-] bleepbloopbop@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago

Okay, real talk, he says it auto-opened after detecting resistance

What are the odds you can jam something in there and pry or inflate it and it will just open for you? With any other car I'd say no way they made that rookie of a mistake but.... maybe? are these things free lootboxes lmao

[-] PaX@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago
[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Maybe but only if it wasn’t latched?

[-] bleepbloopbop@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

depends how dumb the software is but in all likelihood this is the right answer yeah

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 33 points 4 months ago

This is why God made carrots

That depends on what your definition of "crushes" is

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 37 points 4 months ago

That bone is at least fractured to say nothing of the flexor tendons and ligaments, hate to see what happens once the adrenaline runs out, crush injuries are deceptive cause they're not always bloody

[-] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 53 points 4 months ago

This is defamation and I'll see you in court

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 39 points 4 months ago
[-] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 43 points 4 months ago

They're my children now. They will work on the mohole drilling platforms on mars.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

Masterful gambit sir! Using the up-yours-woke-moralists of defining everything subjectively line of argumentation is truly a sign of your intellect!

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago

The wokes keep changing definitions for everything. Who knows what they mean when they say “unsafe” and “crushes”. For all we know, they could be referring to their tiktoks!

[-] panned_cakes@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

Not looking forward to more Neuralink body horror!

0:42 Yeesh. I paused it there to type this. Somebody show this motherfucker the hand scene in Blood Simple.

If you haven't seen the movie - watch it instead of watching this scene that's a spoiler. It's great.
