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
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…
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!
Texas Man and His Dog Found Dead After Becoming Trapped Inside Car https://share.google/7WgfnLB6a0gTAriAH
2015! jfc, what a shit show.
Zero sympathy for purchasing a vehicle from a fucking neo-Nazi.
🤷
On the fiery side, we might have MAGA troops manning Tesla Tanks.
Damn near 100% of the owners. The Nazimobiles came out after Elon needed all that Saudi money to get him out of the hole he dug saying he’d buy Twitter and in turn started amplifying chud propaganda on Twitter at their request. Anyone with a preorder had an opportunity to cancel and get their money back to not support a fascist. Fuck 'em. Let them eat fire.
Honestly, it may not be drivable but you could set up mobile crematoriums for people’s loved ones in a pop up format and make a tidy little business provided you can clear the $10k the truck is worth daily.
He says the trucks are “apocalypse-proof” and claims they can withstand bullets and have “armor glass” windows.
They also withstand emergency responders and the occupant’s attempts to escape.
He meant apocalypse proof from the INSIDE, duh ! If all hell breaks loose inside, it won’t get out, and neither will you !
Chances of you experiencing the apocalypse - Zero
Chances you will get trapped in an Cybercuck and be unable to get out - Not zero
Let’s face face it. The most likely apocalypse is an economic crash brought on by the kind of crop of idiots. Not sure how a car is going to help with that.
And the apocalypse will have working charging stations.
Jokes aside. You can build you own solar charging station for a few grand.
Not a lot of people can build their own oil extraction and refinement system in their backyard.
On the flip side, might be a good time for everyone to learn about wood gasifiers.
Will a tesla even start if the internet is down?
Elon is building both the “apocalypse-proof” (they are not) truck and the apocalypse (he really is)
When they say “apocalypse-proof”, what they actually mean is that the pedestrians outside are protected from the localised internal apocalypse occurring within the vehicle.
Seems the built-in grill feature needs a bit more work.
No you just rebrand it a built-in crematorium.
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.
That is not how it works in the EU. The Cybertruck has never been street legal here, for a reason.
I see people make this point a lot but it’s not about the number of deaths. It’s about the manner in which they die. It’s horrifying.
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.
Only 60,000 Cybertrucks have been sold. Not “half a million.”
While the total number of deaths from fire may seem insignificant to you, it is a far greater death rate than major auto manufacturers usually tolerate.
In the 1970s, Ford had to recall the Pinto over 27 deaths out of 1.5 million units sold. That’s 18 deaths per million units.
Cybertrucks are sitting at five known fire deaths per 60,000 units sold. That would be a ratio of 83 deaths per million units.
literal deathtrap
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.
I disapprove the Schadenfreude comments, but this is not merely a “vehicle most people don’t like”. It is a dangerous vehicle unnecessarily threatening health and even live of other members of the community, especially of children. There is a reason why it is not street legal in the EU.
I agree the EU regulators made the right call, and this vehicle should not be on the public streets anywhere until it can meet basic safety standards, both for the drivers and for the public.
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.

That’s how many people see it, but I know a few people that are entirely disconnected from “celeb culture” and the news in general, and just think the cybertruck is neat technology. And to be fair, putting aside the massive safety issues with it, it does have noteworthy technology that on their own are interesting.
And I think the cross section of people who are interested in the cybertruck, people who are not particularly intelligent, and who also have money are generally going to be the customer base. It’s fine to criticize, but to say “no sympathy” when they die is gross.
sorry I should have added the alternative option of “is ignorant of the fact and should be expected to be able to figure that out”
if somebody won’t think of how their actions affect others, fuck them.
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.

The cybertruck was available to buy before he went full mask off. And not everyone is “in-touch” with everything.
No compassion at all
Disgusting.
Felon Muskrat went full mask off way back in 2016 when he called child rescuers a Pedo. Go pound sand.

That wasn’t “mask off”, that was him being publicly petulant. That was him not knowing how to react to someone telling him “no”. It was the start of the cracks in his pubic veneer. Most rational people would say his reaction to that situation was ridiculous and childish, but I would bet there’s a good amount of people who still aren’t aware of what he said about the rescuers.
His “mask off” moment was during the 2024 USA elections when he went full Nazi (openly).
Granted, there were always indications for people who knew what to pay attention to, but that’s not most people.
informed consumer making rational decisions fallacy we have all been there. still, it hits different to mock them when they’re still alive to reflect on their choices
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.

We have yet to ask one simple question. Is this a bug or a feature?

Yes! This is why I hang out here. My day is made when an Emo Phillips joke is in the comments.
This punchline comment was voted best religious joke ever according to a 2005 online poll. And anyone posting the best religious joke ever, according to a 2005 online poll must possess a tremendous amount of humorous insight and knowledge. As far as I am concerned, that is way more cool than meeting some people from your local metropolitan area while on a cruise or a Mexico/Caribbean resort vacation.
cybertruck is a built in crematorium and Coffin at the same time,elon makes nazi impressed.
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
“sorry but i wont climb into your death trap. i will wait for the next available driver.”
