TL;DR: The CyberTruck is 17 times more likely to have a fire fatality than a Ford Pinto.
Ford pinto got a safety recall
the cyberstuck won’t get a recall
And our government will start arresting people who trash talk it, guarantee
Except that they already did a recall.
I mean, they should be just totally removed from the road. Apparently loads of insurance companies won’t insure them, so that’s a step in the right direction.
You can always get out of a Pinto though.
This headline reminded me that Mitch “Turtle” McConnell’s sister-in-law drowned in a Tesla in Feburary.
The circumstances around her death were suspicious since the McConnel family is tied to ccp
Wups, wrong comment
Ah yes, this old article from February, that included the Las Vegas Fireworks explosion in their calculation of exploding CyberTrucks!
Great journalism.
That incident is so still super weird to me. The dude was supposedly an ordnance expert but his plan revolved around what I can only describe as cartoon logic- “fireworks and electric car batteries exolode, so I’ll mix the two together to make a super explosion !” My initial thought was he wanted the spectacle more than actually harming people but his writings seemed to contradict that. Maybe he just went off the deep end and was living in a delusion but anyone who knows anything about how explosions work could have told you that his plan had essentially zero chance of working as intended. If he were just a normal guy that would be one thing but again he was supposedly an active duty ordnance expert. I don’t think there’s any kind of conspiracy or anything I just don’t understand what happened.
he literally asked Chatgpt what to do and followed its instructions
But again, someone who is supposedly an ordnance expert would know that CharGPT was using cartoon logic.
Any time, fam :)
I mean, it’s not like it got less relevant in the last 60 days. Didn’t one just blow up out in Cali and the doors all failed? Feels more relevant than ever.
It’s sad how upvoted these ratass forum sliders are
Congratulations. What a marvelous achievement.
What’s the name of this show again?
Looks like Galavant
Thanks! Yeah I think I might check it out again. Wasn’t in the mood when it was on.
Can very much recommend. It’s a hidden gem. Sadly there’s only two rather short seasons
I actually don’t know! Just saw the gif and liked it :)
It’s perfect!
Maybe we should have some sort of analog handle that doesn’t require power?
Wait, you mean I have to manually activate a series of levers, linkages and mechanism?
Outrageous!I do concede this vital functionality should be in a quick-access menu for ease of access, on the “additional” page of the “traditional controls” submenu in the “car functions” dashboard.
Perhaps we should first make the user enable “legacy” mode in the settings which can only be done by tapping the firmware version number 10 times. But they can press too quickly, we need to make sure it was intentional.
We also must also reset this when the car is turned off in order to ensure our customers aren’t confused.
Also it voids the warranty…
I’m curious how explosive it is compared to the Ford Exploder personally, that’s a more direct comparison of vehicle type. And those were rolling over and exploding all over the place much more recently than the Pinto back in the 70s.
Please provide examples
