First thing I immediately noticed was the rust

What rust? The dirt around the door jams?

Musky Bois be like "that's not rust, it's patina".

I don't see any rust? That's just the fingerprints that you can't not get all over it.

What's going on with the top quarter of this pic?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think someone is standing under the rear hatch of their car. You can see the bottom of the hatch and the rear window.

This could be it. Still breaks my brain though.

I know right? I am actually stumped by how I cannot place wtf that is.

Looks like maybe a "soft top" style roof? Convertibles and some jeep style vehicles have them.

Or maybe another damaged car, not sure.

I can't get this pic to settle in my brain.

Wait tgis is a real car? Wow I thought it was an art project or AI meme

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh to be ignorant of the cyber truck. There are so many complaints about this piece of crap daily online. They lock out their owners, have body panels fall off, have very few protections against auto closing doors cutting off fingers, the accelerator pedals can get stuck at full speed while moving, they are uncoated stainless steel which corrodes, and replacement parts are insanely expensive.

I saw a YouTube short of someone claiming Tesla fixed the trunk door cutting people's fingers off. He demonstrated with a banana at first. It detected the banana and immediately opened the door again. It barely made a dent into the banana. So he's like imma try my finger now lol. So he tries his finger and of course that fucker clamps down hard on this mf's finger, which gets stuck for a short while before the Tesla gives up and opens the door again. But his finger had a huge and deep dent in it, bro. You could tell he was in big pain. His hand was shaking minutes after the event.

I don't know what's worse, the door, or this idiot thinking a banana is an accurate prop to use in place of a finger. I would've used something smaller than my finger. If it detected that, you would think a finger would be safe...

One other thing here is that the sensitivity of the detection is actually decreased with repeat attempts. This is pretty standard.

The reasoning here is that people will check after the first failure. And if they then send the close request again, the car will try a bit harder. Maybe it's just some bit of oversized luggage that can be pushed down.

Oh boy. If he only knew this...
