Cybertruck's "guillotine effect" may amputate fingers (video) [1]

['Jason Weisberger']

Date: 2024-01-25

This video demonstrates a hidden Cybertruck feature: the thin steel panels of a slammed door are used to chop carrots and hotdogs. The Tesla might also chop someone's fingers. Reviewers have named this "the guillotine effect."

Feature or bug? We know the Musk-logical approach is to declare everything as intentional, even when it's dangerous and stupid. After years of development, the Cybertruck is finally starting to trickle out of the factory. We're learning it has more problems than the average poorly painted, ill-fitting body paneled Tesla. We've all known someone, or done it ourselves, who has slammed a hand, finger, or leg in a door or drawer. Car or not, these things happen, and designing a door like this seems problematic. Maybe giant rubber bumpers along the door edge?
