It would be great to see Stephanie’s facial expression when you asked her if she wanted to put that apple back in the fridge! The patience she has is truly commendable

"😑" -Stephanie

[@paritybit7830]

This is gonna make a great movie scene when the mob enforcer duct-tapes the hapless stooge's hand to the corner, "Every time I push this button it closes harder, see, so if you wanna keep those fingers ya better spill the beans..."

[@BrianJoslyn]

🤣 ❤when Steph says you're gonna clean her car... 'shakes head no' then looks at wife "ok"

[@gadgetmerc]

Should Mario get another chance? A human had to press the button so they expect you to look before pressing it again. I can't think of a use case where you'd accidently get your finger caught in the frunk, it getting saved, then you immediately press the button, and get your finger stuck in again. It seems very logical that you might have an oversized bag that you might need to hit the button twice to get it to close. I think this is a great design. Its sensitive but allows you to give your bags a squeeze if you really want.

[@catbert7]

You don't have to catch your finger in it multiple times, it just has to be the right time. If you were trying to squish a bunch of bags in there, e.g., and it took a few tries, and you're holding the bags down until the last second, and you get clumsy on the third try... Really, if you have something blocking the trunk from closing, having the trunk force its way through is just not a good idea, even if it's causing damage to your belongings rather than your fingers. Just clear the blockage and keep the trunk safe.

[@gadgetmerc]

@@catbert7 I fell like I need to remind everyone that coffee is hot and could burn you. There is already at least one video of a finger after a couple presses. It's doing less than a finger slammed in the door. We still allow people to close doors manually so settle down.

[@user-to2rf1rj5v]

6:38 it's actually a great move. I sometimes try and fit my luggage in multiple times, and it won't close because it's too sensitive. Now if I do it multiple times it realizes that it's intentional and I WANT it to push down hard and latch. Much better this way.

[@alexp.6406]

I agree, Tesla has it the right way as it should be: the first time it’s not gonna chop your finger off and then it tries harder! Crybabies on the Internet are gonna change the good thing that was designed in.

[@andrewcastiglia9548]

Please drive around with Mario sticking out of your frunk!

[@DirtyTesla]

RIP Mario

[@celeron55]

Closing a frunk or trunk requires some force as it's a heavy object with a crash proof latch. It isn't surprising that it will cut fruits and vegetables. Someone should try this on a car with a manual frunk so that the person closing the frunk doesn't know whether there's something in between or not. I can tell you the result already: Everything will be cut.

[@maxiumlin6705]

I think the algorithm forcing retries isn't that unreasonable since needing to detect slight pressure nearing the hinges means that it can be falsely stopped very easily in a lot of scenario, and there's almost no risk of human still not being aware of the closing after the first few tries... well, except for people deliberately testing the algorithm with their fingers, I guess.

[@JohnFabrega]

Good point! I figure if I actuated it again I would have first checked for carbon based obstacles!

[@rmkep]

I think the repeat algorithm is a good solution. A repeat with more force makes sense (slightly full frunk with a soft luggage or in my case, soft sided ice chest). Any damage to a human at this point is ... darwin.

[@okgoogle4206]

Not darwin, the subject can still reproduce (the frunk is too high for weirdos). So its all bad.

[@philliptemple4534]

I don't know. I heard it's now being used by the mafia, and they keep hitting the close button until you talk. Phillip.

[@Spoonjamin]

Is this the new Hydraulic press type videos

[@DirtyTesla]

Great idea

[@nickrusso86]

I hope you made a CyberSalad with the test subjects.

[@4WDisLife]

those little kids fingers at the bottom of the frunk gives me anxiety.

[@itchynackers]

yet even they know not to stick appendages in there. Adults....not so much.

[@Zedus-rl9hp]

Electric windows also increase the closing force after the 3rd attempt, at least that's how I know it from VW. The only difference with the CT is that there are sharper edges, as a minimum radius of 2.5mm (I think) is usually specified in automotive.

[@cheronecom]

Kids don't think about an algorithm. I would rather it just fail and force you to manually latch.

[@TheGreatSteve]

Due to leverage, the closer the object is to the hinge, the more pressure is applied.

[@gamerboy12970]

Love your channel

[@iWebalize]

I think it would make more sense if the default closing is the soft/sensitive one, and give another option in the UI to force close the frunk, so the user is the one who decide on how to close it and be liable of their decisions

[@BenefitOfTheDoubtInquiry]

They should keep the sensitivity high and only force close if you hold the close button in.

[@celeron55]

Why?

[@dreadfullydespized2248]

Yet, if I am closing the hood of a vehicle manually. Someone's finger gets in the way, it is the operator fault.

tbf the cybertruck frunk looks scarier, that stainless steel edge

[@martinbeaumier7172]

Maybe you should try it on other car brands

[@Mrbfgray]

I think progressive closing pressure is brilliant, what if ice is causing it to fail to latch? Or you just want it to compress that overstuffed soft bag. No excuse for repeatedly closing it *on yourself.*

[@Mrbfgray]

Any car w power closure will do the same thing it's safe to assume. Ppl know not to put their hands in there.

[@Mooshimoca]

i think its fantastic, the amount of times ive had luggage in the boot/frunk and i just need that extra little bit of pressure to get it fully closed, now it will actually close the frunk. I think best thing to do is just to have it in super safe mode all the time and then if someone wants, they can change a setting in the car to adjust the amount of pressure/turn on algorithm mode if they would prefer that.

[@ChristmasEve777]

I'm new to this channel. There was nothing wrong with what you did. I don't think you endangered your daughters at all. You were very conscious of what they were doing and they were listening quite well. But this was a reminder that automakers using motors to close doors and hatches can be very dangerous (to adults too). I just bought a Hummer EV and I have not tested its pressure sensitivity for the frunk or rear door.

[@TheBusyDaddy]

Thank you for doing the comparison to power back hatch of existing cars. There's too many how horrible the pinch will be (which OTA update reduced the pinch) but it really is similar to many existing power hatch cars. Tesla really should advertise their OTA records on new features added through OTA for Tesla built from 2020 on to show in comparison how many feathers are added by ICE cars (BIG ZERO) and other EVs. Plus they should also advertise how safe the tesla cars are with the crash in hwy 1 and the recent 7 flip roll over in china, no one died when almost any other cars will be tragic. They should advertise facts, like how cheap is to maintain the cars by owners.

[@polarlight1369]

Great video - Stephanie is a real sport and very, very patient! But those were good tests - and I'm sure that Tesla will eventually make any of their auto-closing doors or hoods much safer for humans ... thanks, Chris!

[@martinbeaumier7172]

Well i completely understand why tesla would make the algorithm force more after many tries

[@JohnFabrega]

Clearly the corner gives a better piercing and slicing effect and closer to the hinge would exert more force. Physics happen. Hopefully more people will try the same tests in more vehicles to make sure the public knows this can happen in hoods trunks and doors in most vehicles. And, hopefully will decrease the number of warnings that concerned friends send me.😮 PSA ... Don't put your fingers in places where two heavy metal surfaces intersect.

Exactly. When I was a kid, I once put a finger in the hinge of a normal house door, then someone closed it and I was hurt and fainted. It just makes sense that we’re supposed to avoid putting fingers in any such places!

The same issue has been years ago on TV, not even made big news, in Germany. Like just some random article, that those problems did happen to softclosing doors at BMW and every other brand, cutting off fingers. That could happen if you get out on the streetside, close your door a little to let traffic pass and pushed it a little too far... Your finger still inside it... I think I've seen that like 10 years ago or more? This didn't make it to the like prime time news or anything, but you can see that problem isn't just what Tesla had to face. I'm not even sure if they entirely fixed it, I just can guess so. How ever, its not like Tesla is the first car manufacturer with that issue, just the first one getting a lot headlines of it.

[@mrmawson2438]

😆

[@aaronbounds1336]

6:47 a I would describe the decisions that went into a progressively strokes and more persistent close force as good, and makes sense. Look: anyone can hurt themselves with anything if they want to. Tesla is designing the system to function well under normal use cases with normal-minded people. Most people who pinch a finger in a door will do it a few times throughout their life, but not many. Most instances involving a potential finger squish in this frunk will happen only once, on the lightest setting. If someone is trying to close the frunk with an object inside such as luggage or other common inanimate item, at least to me, a progressively stronger close force makes sense. It gives plenty of time for someone to have a gentle reminder to not put their finger(s) there, and then gets down to the business of closing more strongly when people have had time to move their hand out of the way.

⚠️ Teaching the kids this is a fun activity, makes this much more dangerous. In future scenario, dad’s packing truck for camping. He’s filling the cooler in frunk and remembers to grab sodas in the house by the time he gets back, the kid that was playing in driveway remembers the button that makes noise and was so fun it made her laugh over and over again.

Tesla really needs to improve this. Totally agree with Chris, it shouldn't be increasing pressure just because it failed to close on first attempt, it should never be increasing pressure, especially with those metal edges. Edit: I've now watched to the end, interesting that model Y is similar, so perhaps it's not so serious (presumably people aren't getting injured on M.Y) but still, it feels like the Cyber's frunk is easier to reach and more dangerous with those thinner/sharper edges, hopefully I'm wrong.
