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.
They were joking until the blood started to really pour.
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.
Finding new and exciting ways to make cars more dangerous. What an inovator.
A few hours later, believing the bleeding to have subsided sufficiently, Bdesign unwrapped the bandage. This decision proved to be a miscalculation. “I unwrapped my wrist and BOOM - spurts of blood all over the kitchen island…,” he wrote, “which leaves me here, at the ER.”
lmfao, he really was looking for any excuse to not blame the car, huh?
I was hoping they’d start adding a sort of rounded plastic shell to make it more aerodynamic and cover over the sharp edges, but if customers still like them after an injury there’s no incentive to dull the edges.
If enough non-customers are killed, they may have to do something, but idk what.
Hey but at least you can off-road in it right?
i’ve seen two of these things around here. they’ve both been on the flatbed of a local towing service.
A truck towing a “truck”.
Not that trucks deserve any respect. But at least real trucks like flatbeds have a purpose.
This is a good point. The cyber truck is never going to be successfully used by their idiot owners for anything but driving around on streets, hauling nothing.
Those that attempt otherwise, are shown the error of their ways.
Nature is healing
Likely going in for the pedal recall to be completely fair.
Still wild that they managed to fuck that up by using glue and having the metal traction pad slide onto the pedal instead of latching or being crimped or screwed in.
They go through the trouble of having a second motor for the steer by wire in case of a failure, but they can’t make a pedal apparently.
Cyber truck: it just kills you ™
A blood sacrifice to the Musk.
Hahahahha! The sucker.
The Cybertruck deemed him unworthy. Only the most based may ride the greatest vehicle in all of human history, if not the history of the universe.
In reality the truck is possessed by a demon that wanted a blood offering.
I’ve read a short story with similar theme from mostly unknown local author. It was called something like “vampire car” and the car did not use fuel, but blood from the driver’s foot instead. Due to this it was unbelievably fast, but deadly.
Stephen King also wrote “Christine” about a killer car.
I’ve heard of it, but did not read it (yet). The story I wrote about was from early 60s, which made it quite unique IMO.
Christine is a good read. Not to take away from your referenced story, but especially if you like king, Christine slaps
I really like what I’ve read from him, although it wasn’t that much. Book of some short horror stories and The Stand, which was really amazing (to the point I watched that mediocre TV series with Gary Sinise, which was quite let down after the book). I’ve also recently got Under the Dome, so that’ll be my next read I think.
I really like Under the Dome to the point of not minding the TV adaptations.
If you like the Stand, you’ll probably like most King (although thats probably one of his best.) The biggest criticism is that he’s long winded - which can definitely be true, but I think most of his fans appreciate that. (I’m reading one of his covid books, Fairy Tale. Its been good but I’m over 1/4 through and “the thing” is only just now maybe beginning to happen lmao.
Why not both?
So it’s a server rack in truck form? Now it makes a lot of sense.
Blood letting can actually be healthy in many American males, since often they have a overabundance of iron. Thus we must conclude the Elon Musk Supergenious has used Grok AI to let the Cybertruck analyze their owners through the autodrive cameras and automatically bleed them if they have a overabundance of iron. Tesla continues to innovate and in fact probably saved this mans life!
It actually wouldn’t surprise me if this turned out to be true
Don’t worry that will never happen and if Elon should say it’s true, he’s lying.
Plus any blood that ends up on the truck makes it go fasta.
Blood only has magical power if it belongs to a virgin.
So you’re probably right.
It’s not the blood but the red…
One day soon someone will search online for what to do for a cut and some AI will spit out “Blood letting can actually be healthy in many American males, since often they have a overabundance of iron…”
Can’t wait for IA to tell that non-toxic glue will help recover from an open wound if you mix it at a ratio of 6/8 with cheese.
Damn, if the car’s body is full with sharp edges, what would happen if it hit a pedestrian? Instant decapitation?
The corners on the front of it look like they can easily cut out your kidneys on an impact
To be fair, any modern truck built for the US market will kill you on the spot, usually by squishing you like a bug against the grill. A Cybertruck is low enough that it will probably just chop off your legs, so you probably still die, but you can have a half open casket! 🎉
Listen, I love to hate on the cybertruck, but this article is just repeating a claim made in a forum post. There appears to have been no attempt made to verify the facts of the matter. I’d take this with a big grain of salt.
That’s all people need to participate in the outrage culture tho
This isn’t outrage, it’s schadenfreude, and it’s well earned. It just doesn’t excuse not vetting your sources. When a story justifies your existing ideas about the world is when you need to be most skeptical.
People are outraged? Unjustified, no matter what or why.
Bdesign thought that the cut was small, like a paper cut, until blood started spurting out from the wound. The Tesla inspectors who were there and even described that the vehicle “can be dangerous” panicked but helped.
Oh good, multiple witnesses.
I saw the original LAMF post. A detail missing here was that the inspectors were joking (that it could be dangerous) at first when they saw the cut because even they didn’t know how dangerous it was.
…from Tesla.
