My wife wanted to go into the tesla tunnels in Vegas. I told her no way. If one of those randomly caught fire we’d be toast. No getting out of it.
I saw those tunnels for the first time. I’d originally thought they were proper tunnels that you normally drive through in cities or the occasional mountain.
Nope.
They’re hamster tubes. Saw how claustrophobic they were and didn’t see any means of emergency escape. Hell no, would not enter.
Lol absolutely not!
when are they making these things part of the white house motorcade?
I bet you will see this within one month. Maybe even sooner.
At this point if you drive a cybertruck you should have a Crowbar in reach
A crowbar has a better and more iconic design than a cybertruck.
…to shove up your fucking ass.
Don’t threaten them with a good time
I thought the glass was going to be unbearable or something.
Nah, just the owners.
That’s a good typo. But yeah I thought musk was saying the glass was bulletproof. Maybe he should be carrying that glass around on his shoulders instead of his poorly raised child.
That kid is nothing but a prop to him too.
That kid is nothing but a
prophuman shield to him too.The more I think about it, I think you might be on to something.
if you’re a typical cybertruck owner, it’s in the shop or you’re waiting for service, and you’re driving your absolutely necessary backup car.
Holy fuck that’s awful
Par for the course at this point. If you buy a Tesla of any sort. If anything happens to your vehicle where you need a quick escape. You’re as good as dead.
Such a shame
/s?
Natural selection at work.
What is wrong with you?
In the world of Elon Musk, that counts as a successful road test.
$10 says he tries to charge the family for “crematorium services rendered”.
Move fast and kill people. How brave of him.
*roast test
Can’t have Bobby Kennedy going hungry, now can we?
Some important corrections:
- The doors did not open from the outside, presumably because they were locked
- The hero who tried to rescue the people inside was hitting the window with a tree branch, but the windows didn’t crack until after over a dozen swings
- The article says nothing about opening the doors from the inside; if you are ever in that situation, cybertrucks have a manual release under the rubber mat of the “map pocket” in the doors (source)
Obviously they tried the door handles first unless they were knocked out. And to have a manual release in such a stupid, hidden spot? Don’t try to be an apologist for Tesla. There is no excuse for making such poorly designed cars these days.

Corrections to what? Does the article get any of these points wrong?

That’s an irresponsible, deadly, anti-human design feature, but thanks for the tip I guess.
I’ve been in the Model Y with the stupid wing doors and the release is behind the speaker covers in the door. The speaker covers are not easy to grab or remove. That’s when I have the user manual open and there isn’t a lithium fueled fire burning me up in seconds

I’m genuinely confused as to why you would prefer an electronic door opener. Is it just a gimmick for aesthetics? I’ve heard that it’s to allow for frameless doors (in which it’s better to open the window a bit before opening the door), but I’ve been in multiple cars that did that with a mechanical handle just fine, by simply adding a switch to that mechanical handle. It seems so stupid on so many levels: cost, reliability, repairability, and - chiefly - safety.
my 1997 honda has frameless doors without needing an electronic door opener, or rolling the window down 🤷
I think it puts some stress on the window, especially if you slam the door shut with too much force. I don’t know how often this actually becomes a problem though, and in any case - you don’t need an electronic door opener regardless.
manual release
Also known as the same fucking handle you use every day in every other make of car.
Who lets this shit be sold?
under the rubber mat of the “map pocket” in the doors
That sounds like a real shit place to try finding in a smoke and fire filled car. That thing needs a recall and crushed into cybercubes.

Reminder that you need a small, pointed object to shatter most automobile glass easily.
Or a ball bearing, in the case of Cyberfuks.
I’m impressed he broke the window at all with something soft and blunt.
Looooooooolllllllllllllll
