Recently, there has been more news regarding the “gluttony” of the Tesla Cybertruck. According to some owners, the vehicle’s power liftgate grabs and bites people’s fingers – or whatever’s on it.
The big problem with the first Cybertrucks was that the mechanism supposed to prevent objects from being accidentally pinched when closing the trunk door didn’t really work well on them. The storage compartment lid, instead of the engine compartment in other cars, closes mechanically – and if something dangles on it during the process, it does and the car itself might be damaged.
So Tesla recently released a software update for all Cybertrucks that made the trunk sensors more sensitive, making closing the trunk lid safer, but it appears that this development hasn’t completely fixed the problem yet.
Until now, no one had the courage to test this problem using their own body…until now. In the videos published so far, only different vegetables and artificial hands might be seen broken by the Cybertruck’s trunk lock, but the other day Jeremy Judkins the content creator chose the boldest way test it Tesla’s “biting” update. His experience didn’t go very well.
Judkins started with the usual fruits, and lo and behold, they weren’t destroyed by the Cybertruck like he would have before. After consuming the fruit, he began to up the ante.
In the video, it’s clear that Judkins prioritizes his forearm Cybertruck in his open “mouth”. This pushes the top of the trunk down a little, but nothing happens. Then he tries it with his palm, and even then there’s no problem. The tailgate presses on the tester’s hand for a moment, but eventually releases it, leaving only a “line” on the tester’s hand.
This is where the story takes a different turn. Judkins continues the tests with his index finger and his facial expression speaks volumes regarding the consequences. The trunk of the Cybertruck presses his finger hard enough that the man can move it just a little so that the trunk detects the problem and opens. Jeremy was visibly shaken by the unexpected attack: in his posted video, it is said that “he was afraid of his finger for a moment”.
The camera changes, and then we also see that his index finger is shaking. There is a serious imprint.
Judkins concludes the video by saying that Tesla still has work to do on the “finger-eating” problem.
