It even cuts up to four carrots. Crazy. Shown here: <a href="https://youtu.be/xNE-NyaYBcg?si=j2nZpMCsmos_b2vB&t=1742" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/xNE-NyaYBcg?si=j2nZpMCsmos_b2vB&t=1742</a>
I get the feeling that non-premium brands (especially Kia) implemented this better.<p>There's no crunching noise present (like with the Mercedes) or bits falling off (BMW).<p>Tesla is in its own league in terms of safety hazard here of course.
This car feels like the car equivalent of the Tu-144 (the Soviet Concorde clone which, on an early flight, blared a warning siren in the cabin for the _entire flight_ because no-one could figure out how to turn it off) just _comically_ unready for launch but launched anyway to stroke egos.
Or Tesla engineers do have engineering degrees, but Tesla management pared down the list of requirements.<p>I'm not a close follower of Elon Musk, but apparently he believes in aggressively trimming requirements. According to this, at least: <a href="https://mondaynote.com/what-makes-elon-musk-move-so-fast-8e7c91820923" rel="nofollow">https://mondaynote.com/what-makes-elon-musk-move-so-fast-8e7...</a>
This is certainly a hazard. But is it such a big one that it overshadows every other cool aspect of the car? I am a Tesla fan, and hence may be biased. Tesla cars certifiably are one of the safest out there. This should have an OTA fix.
This has nothing to do with degrees or the lack thereof. If you needed a formal engineering education to know not to design a mechanism like this one for a consumer application, then engineering was never the right career choice for you... and no school was ever going to turn you into a good one.<p>Failure to say 'no' to Elon Musk is an ethics shortcoming, not a matter of engineering. In accounting, you'd play fast and loose with the books and run afoul of the IRS. In medicine, you'd harm your own patients with careless prescribing practices. In law, you'd take orders from someone like Trump and lose your license. And so on. If you did this, you suck, and somewhere a Wal-Mart is missing a cashier.
In our Cyberpunk future, finger safety is optional. All limbs and body parts are optional replaceable addons and accessories for our Neuralink(TM) implants. /s
Is this the usual Tesla derangement syndrome or is cybertruck uniquely dangerous in this way? I wouldn’t want to put my fingers inside of any trunk/hood and close it.
