    The YouTuber started the video by closing the frunk on produce like a carrot, cucumber, and banana before the update was installed. The frunk chopped all of the produce when it was placed in the frunk.

    The YouTuber then tried the same test with the update installed and was impressed with the improvement.

    “With just a software update, the Tesla Cybertruck frunk is way safer,” he said. “We witnessed it destroy a ton of vegetables, and then post-update did nothing.”

    He didn’t do a finger until building confidence first. He also tried an arm and then his hand before finally trying his finger.

    So not as crazy as the article made it out to be, and his finger wasn’t seriously hurt either, but it hurt enough that he didn’t want to try it again after getting info from the engineer about it getting stronger after each failed attempt.

      getting stronger after each failed attempt.

      Why would that be a decided upon outcome? There’s gotta be a reason for that intention

        If a bag or something is blocking the latch, then you may want it to try again harder. Or if the latch is a little bent, it may need more force to close properly.

        That said, I honestly don’t like automatic latches and whatnot, I prefer to close doors myself because there’s less stuff to break.
