    Tesla: We made the truck safer.

    YouTuber: Ok, let’s test it. Ow, fuck, that hurt a lot.

    Tesla: You did it wrong.

    Why not just test it with a chicken bone or a hotdog?

    This is like testing a Chinese bullet proof west by shooting your buddy wearing it.

      Apparently they did, but after a failed close, it will for whatever reason close more forcefully the next time

        What?!? How is that programmed?!? Someone did more work for less safety this is a typical tesla moment.

          I’m glad I never have to deal with safety stuff for my own dev work, but this decision truly goes beyond me.

            I do safety, but for Software. And yes this decision is absolutely beyond me and i have no idea why anyone would think this is anywhere near acceptable. This sounds like grounds to sue.

      They did. You just need to read beyond the headline to discover that.

      The system has a feature that if you try to unsuccesfully close it several times it applies a little more pressure each attempt assuming there’s a bag or something that’s pushing the door from inside. This is quite unlikely to happen in a normal scenario.

          So YouTuber Jeremy Judkins tested out whether the update actually makes the frunk safer by closing the frunk on a carrot, cucumber, banana — and eventually his finger.

          That person who replied to you is a doofus
