    A Tesla engineer said the test was done wrong because the frunk increases in pressure every time.

    “You are holding it wrong!” 🤣

      Of course it just keeps hitting harder when things are in the way.

      Literally Tesla’s response

      He did the test wrong because he’s experimenting with “safety” algorithms that the manufacturer has provided little-to-no documentation on and is having to come up with answers on his own. Maybe he wouldn’t be “doing it wrong” if Tesla hadn’t over-engineered every aspect of their piece of shit truck in the first place. This thing is a solution in search of a problem, and it’ll chop your fingers off until it finds it.

        Most general question, what is the main purpose of this car? Why should people buy it?

        It is a tank.

        Steel walls for rich guys who want to protect their asses from masses of poor people around.

        What should the door of your tank do if you want to close it, but some bonehead does not move his fingers out, repeatedly?

        Now hurry, finally! This rich guy wants to get away from here! BAM!!

      If it increases in pressure every time, I’m now curious how many times you need to close the trunk to cut a finger off

        That was very nearly my exact same thought. Maybe not for curious children with carrot-sized fingers, but for adults, how convenient! Business competitor’s body won’t quite fit in your fancy frunk? Just while away on your phone for about 10 minutes, let the cat do its magic, and off go the legs! Travel-sized!

        I wonder if you can get the frunk to critical velocity at the touch of a fly by constantly pumping it up like a pump action gun.

      He forgot to turn on Finger Safe Mode™️ before closing the trunk

        But this feature requires an extra monthly subscription, that wasn’t included with the package of the YouTubers

        They’re gonna add this in and call it “Jeremy mode”, just like the existing Joe Mode
