    You know, in some ways, I appreciate Musk. He has gone out of his way to demonstrate, for all to see, how billionaire parasites get to fail upward no matter how irredeemably incompetent and vile they happen to be.

    Scumwads like gates and Bezos hides it all behind walls of pr propaganda, but not Musk.

    I wonder what a cyberguillotine would look like.

      The Cyberguillotine is the door of the Cybertruck’s trunk, which famously has no sensor to block closing it when something is in the way, and is powerful and sharp enough to cut fingers.

    What’s funny to me is there is nothing new in it. It’s trumped up garbage. It still has a chassis and 4 wheels. Nothing new. It’s stuffed with old tech that doesn’t work. These losers are guinea pigs and probably get scammed annually.

      Steer by wire is pretty much the only cool thing. It exists elsewhere sure, but not in vehicles of this size

    We gotta stop calling software updates recalls. Yeah I get that it’s fun to bash on the Cybertruck but this isn’t really that interesting.

    Now that sticky accelerator pedal… yikes.

      Recall is a legal term for the car industry which includes stuff like reporting obligations. So if the defect meets the severity level of a recall it should be called as such, even if it is ‘just’ a software update. Ambiguous terms for safety violations are dangerous and may cost lives.

        Recall is also the plural term for a group of Cybertrucks.
