Everyone knows Tesla’s bulky, powerful and yet attractive electric Cybertruck model. But don’t be fooled by appearances, because this beast “Frunk” front trunk lid called “finger guillotine” is famous as. Luckily, Tesla has released an update to make this tiny danger zone a little friendlier. Here are the details…
Tesla Cybertruck trunk won’t hurt fingers anymore!
In some entertaining videos floating around on YouTube, people have sacrificed vegetables, fruits, and even fingers to show how dangerous this “Frunk” door can be when closing. There was only one question on everyone’s mind: “What will happen to my fingers?” But Tesla took steps to put an end to these concerns and released a software update, making the door more sensitive when closing.
Tesla’s update increased the sensor sensitivity so that the “Frunk” door can better detect objects before closing. In the update notes, “The electric cover can detect objects better just before closing” There was a statement like this: In short, when the cover detects any obstacle such as finger, more sensitive aims to prevent accidents by acting accordingly.
Tesla has recalled all Cybertrucks it has ever sold! Here’s why
Tesla recalled all vehicles due to the accelerator pedal jamming problem in Cybertruck models. Here are the details…
But of course, things may not always go as planned. Cybertruck owners stated that they obtained different results when testing the new version of the sensor. This means that the Frunk gate is actually a “learning algorithm” revealed that he used it. The lid begins to apply more force with each unsuccessful attempt to close, which can sometimes lead to undesirable results.
There is also a YouTuber named Jeremy Judkins who, to test the sensitivity of this sensor, first placed a banana, then a cucumber, then a carrot, and even his own finger in the closing path of the door. The result? Painful! Luckily, even after this dare to try, it can still shoot videos.
Although Tesla has taken an important step for the safety of users with this update, this incident once again shows how important software and hardware integration is in vehicle design. Cybertruck owners should be careful with fingers and maintain safety, especially when interacting with the lid. But let’s face it, this adventure also gave us enjoyable and entertaining moments!
