These horrific deaths and injuries are tragic. I see too many schadenfreude comments here approving of people dying just because they chose to drive a vehicle most people don’t like. If there is blame, it is not on the victims, but on Tesla and the regulators we trust to ensure minimum and obvious safety features.
Anybody that bought a cyber truck did so knowing full well Elon is a Nazi. They made their bed and now they can lie in it. No compassion at all for these selfish fucks.
Perhaps if we were just talking Teslas in general, but the cybertruck? I can’t imagine any non-assholes buying and driving those. That thing is a statement, a fascist “own-the-libs” statement in particular.
anyone that bought a cybertruck did so knowing full well that it’s a giant “fuck everybody but me” vehicle
I have no sympathy for them. their victims, yes. the owner, not at all.
In the western world, deaths from bananas to cyber trucks to rocket ships are tracked. And believe it or not for many of those things there is a threshold of deaths per month or year that is required before any safety concerns are invoked.
They have charts with actual numbers to decide on how many people need to get hurt before a stop sign at a street intersection gets installed. And how many deaths need to occur before those stop signs are upgraded to stop lights.
While I don’t own a cyber truck or anything Tesla and never will. 5 deaths out of however many miles driven by the over 1/2 million cyber trucks that have been sold, is barely statistical noise.
*****Annual deaths from bananas is statistically insignificant. But strangely PubMed did have a German paper about a woman that evidently committed suicide by eating a very large number of bananas. Hyperkalemia is a real thing and there are people at high risk of it. But man, kidney failure is a very painful way to choose to die.
The one thing you are forgetting… Is that Tesla lobbies the regulatory agencies.
For another comparison, the cyber truck is 17 times more likely to burn you to death than the Ford Pinto, a car that is practically synonymous with fire.
literal deathtrap
We have yet to ask ourselves one simple question. Is this a bug or a feature?
I’ve taken a couple uber rides in a Tesla and I wish they’d give you the option to select NOT THAT. I just stared at the stupid door button the whole time
This honestly seems like the most practical outcome. It solves the problem. It’s not like they have family that are gonna care for these fucking Nazis when they’re dead. Turn them to ash and throw them in the junkyard with the car.
Something something Ford Pinto
Ford pinto hold my beer
FFS, design standards exist for a reason. Quit trying to reinvent the wheel, or car doors as it is here.
How in the fuck did a truck without a manual override for exiting the vehicle ever make it to market? Everything is broken.
Corruption.
same reason it’s allowed to have those blinding headlights (headlight?) and those face impaling rear corners
self-cleaning/pyrolytic oven on wheels
creep cremator
Disposable too
Cremation is a new feature. It’ll be an extra $2500 and comes with a decision engine on whether you should live or die (door unlocking). Tesla knows, trust Elon.
its also a 100k coffin with a built in charcuterie machine, that can slice VENISON in half.
The cybertruck actually burns so hot it destroys your soul. No afterlife for you!
Yeah, that happens at purchase.
Well, see, that’s what you get for being a poor.
Solution is simple, you must buy the optional $700 Cyberhammer to bash out the glass (not a joke, there really is a cyber hammer for $700).
Elon’s got it all figured out, 8D chess losers
Wasn’t the point that the cyber hammer couldn’t hurt the truck?
“We’ll fix it in post, haha” says Musk at the end. What a smug prick.
I can’t fathom having my husband burn to death so badly that he’s just … evaporated. But then again I can’t imagine my husband ever wanting a cybercuck so there’s also that.
I can’t imagine my husband.
I can’t imagine
I can’t

My wife and I are in need of a truck since we moved to a rural area and need one for stuff like trash disposal and whatnot. We’ve decided to get something practical like a hundai santafe or honda ridgeline
Comment of the week right here Username makes it even better
Do either of those evaporate your bones?
Sadly, no

The funny part is, the doors have a manual release on the inside, Tesla owners are just too dumb to read the user manual.
The not funny part is, the ones in the back are deep inside the bottom of the door, there’s no possible way a child in a car seat could open the back door in an emergency.

I have to say I am sick of having to give a safety briefing to passengers when they get a ride.
“If we crash and burn, the manual release is behind there” points
Why didnt they just put regular bloody handles on!?
Aesthetics
Sacrificing lives for aesthetics, pretty much sums it up and explains why this thing is not street legal in the civilised world.
Oh, yeah. Because the Cybertruck is so beautiful!
You might die for the look of it, but that is a risk elon is willing to take
Is this a joke? Who is this for? The same people who live in the resident evil house?
Children are normally in the back of a vehicle, please tell us the secret door with a fucking rip cord in it is somehow normal and the cooked children where clearly a “skill issue”.
Hey, I just thought of a brilliant idea. Instead of sticking that under a mat under all the other shit that’s probably stored in the storage pocket, maybe they could put it somewhere more easily accessible, like above the door pocket entirely. And instead of a steel cable to pull, maybe they could use some sort of lever that pulls the cable without needing to see it. And since that is so easy to access, the normal way of opening the door that requires power becomes redundant and could be removed to save costs.
Oh but the electronic opener also lowers the window slightly otherwise it’ll break because the window makes a part of the seal and they couldn’t design it in a way that would work with the normal window position? Why would you do that? So there’s a chance that opening the door in winter will smash the window because sometimes those mechanisms freeze in the cold? Or do they constantly run heaters to avoid this?
It would never catch on, I mean think of how ugly it would look.
Also that level of over engineering with the windows would make a German blush, just peak backwards.
Chevrolet had the same problem. Boomers baked to death in their Corvettes because the battery died.
like, not a crash just the battery died and they decided not to break the glass on their fancy car?
Hot day, sitting in car, 72, he succumbed to the heat and died along with his dog. Battery cable was loose. There was a manual release, but reading manuals is woke.
interesting, got a link to this? thanks!

2015! jfc, what a shit show.
Well, the kid would have to be able to release the seatbelt either… But I would not be surprised that no one would teach the kid to do it anyways…
The manual release is only accessible from the inside as well, so even if the driver gets out, you get to watch your kid burn in a car seat because you can’t open the door from the outside
When we finally start eating the rich, we will have readily available fires to cook them over.
Wasnt there a maga dude that blew up his cybertruck in front of a hotel?
So much has happened last few years…
