Someone deliberately bought the vehicle. They knew the risk. One took out its owner in my old neighborhood a couple months ago. Pretty sure it was the one that I laughed at parked on the street all year. Haven’t seen it since.
I feel like we used to have consumer protections in this country about things like cars spontaneously catching fire. I’m sure I must be mistaken though.
Are we sure this was an accident?
Apparently the explosion was a bunch of fireworks in the trunk going up. So it’s either an accident or one of the lamest terrorist attacks ever.
Well, he bought a cybertruck in the first place…
So you posted the article but didn’t read it first? That piece of shit truck was a rental.
They amended the article. This is the one I posted:

My apologies!
Rented it from Turo. App is having a bit of a moment.

It was a rental. Read the article instead of speculating.
edit: apparently the article was amended, and the original did not make that specification
Still made a choice.
Yeah, to blow it up. Not to invest in one.

People who buy cybertrucks are against that kind of thing. People who don’t buy cybertrucks are happy to let them suffer the consequences.
Perhaps a warning?
