A Tesla owner’s dream of taking his new Cybetruck for a spin turned into a nightmare. He landed in the emergency room with blood spurting from a wrist wound before even getting behind the wheel.

    The Tesla inspectors who were there and even described that the vehicle “can be dangerous” panicked but helped.

    No. This should never have been approved for sale. A consumer vehicle cannot be touted as “dangerous” by the customer representatives except as in ways accepted by all passenger vehicles. This isn’t a work vehicle with special licensing or training needed. This thing is so dangerous, shoddy and badly built it should never have received certification to be sold as a new car.

      Seriously the cybertruck stories have really made me question how much regulation there really is regarding car safety.

      How are we, the public, watching this soup sandwich play out in realtime and there’s nothing actionable there for regulators?

      One more aspect of my faith in our governmental systems starting to take a beating on this one.
