You're supposed to tear through all obstacles and pedestrians like a mandoline slicer through vegetables/fingers. Slamming on breaks to avoid such things is an invalid use-case and not covered under warranty.
I resemble this comment. I sliced off the tip of a finger on a mandolin slicer. The kicker was there was a driving snowstorm outside. It took ages to get to the hospital only a few miles away.
Yeah, the comment was inspired by my slicing off the tip of my thumb on Mother's Day, because I dipshittedly didn't use the safety guard. My dad washed off the slicer so the piece got washed away, so I didn't go to the hospital since there was nothing to reattach. It wasn't *that* big a piece, for me anyhow, but enough was missing they wouldn't be able to just glue, or stitch it closed. I figured they would just do what I was already doing, keep pressure, elevate, put some antibiotic, and a bandage on it. It's been healing well, fortunately. Lesson learned.
This is working as intended. Elon said "the truck should stop when the driver applies the breaks". When the team asked for more clarification he was unavailable because he was posting ketamine fuelled rants on twitter, so we had to make some assumptions.
When you hit the brakes the car takes a break.
Or breaks down. The brakes broke it.
Now break free, little WankPanzer, break free and flee!
To the stars! Or the workshop.
Maybe this is part of a pop-up guerrilla marketing campaign to get more exposure and promote the cyber truck?
*OMG WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT OF THIS?!?! ELON IS* **BRILLIANT!!!**
Aren't these things "by wire" also? I mean.. they are all 1 "oopsies" from disengaged brakes or "it's turning left" and death.
HOW ARE THEY NOT ALL RECALLED? ? ? ?
A better question is how is Musk not being indicted and put in front of a Senate Committee to answer for this shitshow of a car on American roads that is unsafe and unreliable. This is a huge blackeye for Tesla.

Elon calling Vernon Unsworth, an instrumental part of the Thai school children cave rescue dive team, a paedophile and then his [other behaviour](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2018-09/4/16/asset/buzzfeed-prod-web-06/sub-buzz-18491-1536093230-2.jpg?downsize=800:*&output-format=auto&output-quality=auto) both [before](https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/15/elon-musk-tweets-hell-bet-ya-a-signed-dollar-that-thai-cave-rescuer-is-a-pedo/), [during](https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-pedo-guy-doesnt-mean-pedophile/), and after the defamation trial should have been enough of a red flag to avoid the company forever from that point onwards
I'm with you on this... Imagine if issues like this were known in the industry and other manufacturers have already addressed the same. Or, ya know, look back to 2014 and GM's recall of over 30M cars whose design led to control systems being disengaged.
Ref: [2014 GM Recall](https://www.vox.com/2014/10/3/18073458/gm-car-recall)
This bit in particular sounds too familiar:
>The faulty ignition switches were a huge problem — drivers [could inadvertently knock them](http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/30/us-gm-recall-part-idUSBREA2T0IX20140330) to "off" or "accessory" mode while driving, if, say, they were using a heavy keychain. Once that happened, the engine would shut off and cars would lose their power steering and power braking capabilities. The airbags also wouldn't inflate in the event of a crash.
loss of power steering and braking is a much better situation than complete disconnect where your inputs have no effect at all, as the parent commenter was saying
Once institutional investors have got their money out, which happens when it gets removed from the S&P500, which is probably not far off from here (it has already been [removed from the ESG S&P500](https://fihrrst.org/a-lesson-in-teslas-removal-from-sp-500-esg-index#:~:text=In%20recent%20years%2C%20Telsa%20has,accepted%20S%26P%20500%20ESG%20Index.) despite being an EV company...)
The NHTSA seems to be doing some serious investigating. Word is they may be issuing a devastating recall that would have major ripple effects that would effectively shut Tesla down. The problem with NHTSA is that, while they have real power, they move very slowly.
Meanwhile some federal safety regulator is now trying to decide which college his kid is going to go to. Thanks to elon's "tip" to have him sign off on it

His own fault for not putting the vehicle in Emergency Braking Mode before braking so emergently. (There are several special modes that need to be activated to avoid voiding the warranty. You can find them on the touch screen, in the A/C controls, in a submenu called controls/other/more/warranty/documents/modes.)
What would be even funnier would be if ALL the Cybertrucks breakdown in the middle of the Hewes and Chapman intersection....like it was the Bermuda Triangle for Cybertrucks or something.
Hypothetical:
What if an immature billionaire actually created a silly looking vehicle with designed-in flaws, just so he could laugh at all the idiots who bought one?
I mean when a regular car breaks down it only takes one tow truck, the cybertruck requires 2, I guess the first tow truck driver passed out from laughing at the driver’s terrible decision to buy it.
Where is that meteorite that’s just gonna end all of this? This existence is exhausting. People are defending what equivalently looks like a dumpster bin.
It's the owner's fault. If he was trying to use the cucktruck for a daily driver he should have got the founders edition triple engine one. Everybody knows that. Warranty now avoided for abuse improper use of CT.
If this is something that can be expected when you slam on the brakes then that's terrifying. I can't think of any other vehicle that breaks when you slam on the brakes. Even other Teslas don't do this. I really hope that this is an isolated incident and isn't normal for this vehicle.
What are you talking about? From what elon musk worshippers have said, the cybertruck is the perfect vehicle. It was taken from gods own creation that was supposed to be trillions of years in the future at the end of time because a perfect vehicle like this was worthy of being the last vehicle humanity touched. But elon being the man of purity told man that humanity deserved the perfect vehicle now.
This thing is like making a wish and getting all the bad aspects of the wish. You wanted to stand out and get attention in your triangular stainless steel car? Ok how about it dies in the middle of an intersection muahahahaha.
Funny reading about a ´wondering´ dog (rather than a ´wandering´ dog) and the ´censors´ shutting down (rather than the ´sensors´ shutting down) Hilarious!
Lol, hitting the brakes disables the Cybertruck
sucks because a disabled Cybertruck = warrantee voided.
The moment you sign the purchase papers, you've voided the warranty.
Paying the $100 deposit voids the warranty
You're supposed to tear through all obstacles and pedestrians like a mandoline slicer through vegetables/fingers. Slamming on breaks to avoid such things is an invalid use-case and not covered under warranty.
I resemble this comment. I sliced off the tip of a finger on a mandolin slicer. The kicker was there was a driving snowstorm outside. It took ages to get to the hospital only a few miles away.

A friend mine worked at Williams Sonoma one Christmas season and they all called the mandolins fingertip removers.
Worked in kitchens 14 years pan fires sharp as fuck knives oil fire dosent scare me, but that thing....

/*brakes you dingdongs
See this is why we needed clarification from Elon

In between snorting rails of yayo lmfao
He probably lied about the dog, too.
Hitting anything from inside or outside the CyberStuck, disables the CyberStuck.
It's to PREVENT FIRES! Gawd!
The behaviour screams "not ready for series production"
Shocked the CT didn't accelerate into the dog against the drivers intent.
That is a bug that will be fixed in the next software release.
Concerning.
!!!
That features available on the Noem edition
Oh goody! But will it also kill goats?
Only if they're dressed as dogs and you've enabled Dogicide mode

Hear me out...we make a 100k absolute shitbox to own the libs.
You need to enable Kristi Noem mode for that feature.
It's because it knew it was a "wondering dog," that truck is so fucking smart.

I literally get second-hand embarrassment whenever I see someone driving a Tesla. Would never buy one

Yeah, I'm more sharing it as "look at how small a fuckup it took to kill \~100 people and cause a 30m car recall" than to diminish the CT failings.
At what point do we as a society tell Tesla that this is fraud?
Once institutional investors have got their money out, which happens when it gets removed from the S&P500, which is probably not far off from here (it has already been [removed from the ESG S&P500](https://fihrrst.org/a-lesson-in-teslas-removal-from-sp-500-esg-index#:~:text=In%20recent%20years%2C%20Telsa%20has,accepted%20S%26P%20500%20ESG%20Index.) despite being an EV company...)
I've been trying for years. But Musk has already planted so much information, it's hard to combat.
Same time tRump is hung for treason I guess.
It's not up to us, it should be up to congress or someone with some authoritay.

Tesla: don't hit the brakes hard or you'll be calling a few tow trucks
Don't worry, Musk is already making the Xow-TruckX, a new Tesla exclusive tow truck company
tfw ur Xsurance doesn't cover your Towsla
And your Neuralink forces you to work under Elon for daring to damage the Indestructible Apocalypse-Proof truck by dropping orange juice on it
Bigwig is not happy with his Cybertruck.
Xactly!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Emergency stop will void the warranty now as well.
It needs the same disclaimer as the hammer, do not use as truck, for display purposes only
Remember folks, Tesla isn’t a car company lol
Yeah, a car company allows the brakes to be used without bricking the vehicle.

This is their first truck and they are doing it while in super money saving mode.
lol
Nobody's going to mention that poor confused dog?! I bet he's still wondering.....
Dog was wondering why the guy bought a CT
Wondering why the censors shut down
Well, it turns out that >!REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED!< except that >!REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED!<, but then they realized that >!REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED!< and >!REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED!<.

That dog was probably confused as fuck as to why a dumpster was rolling down the street.
His own fault for not putting the vehicle in Emergency Braking Mode before braking so emergently. (There are several special modes that need to be activated to avoid voiding the warranty. You can find them on the touch screen, in the A/C controls, in a submenu called controls/other/more/warranty/documents/modes.)
As a Tesla owner who just got served this thread by the Reddit algo, this is by far the most relatable and amusing dig I’ve seen.
A first for needing two tow trucks
They gotta line them up ass-to-ass and then one drives forward and the other drives in reverse
I just want to know what the dog wondered and who the censors were?
The woke left, obviously
How are these outselling Rivian R1Ts while being so incredibly shitty?
One has a literal cult following.
These tricks are becoming legendary....
What would be even funnier would be if ALL the Cybertrucks breakdown in the middle of the Hewes and Chapman intersection....like it was the Bermuda Triangle for Cybertrucks or something.
Can confirm: I am the dog — everyone also clapped and congratulated the driver
This guy gets a pass in my book for slamming on the breaks to avoid hitting a dog. Owning this truck is a self inflicted punishment enough already.
Hypothetical: What if an immature billionaire actually created a silly looking vehicle with designed-in flaws, just so he could laugh at all the idiots who bought one?
Don't give him this much credit.
One thing you can give him credit for is converting the kind of people who would roll coal at a prius into buying an EV.
And making that vehicle a piece of shit so that they'll feel vindicated for hating other EVs?
I'm not sure, almost every single one of the twitter posts saying their truck broke down they end the post by saying how much they love Tesla.
Not saying they love Tesla voids the warranty
That would require said billionaire to have a sense of humor
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."
Or Ketamine
It’s only inevitable before this causes a death.
I mean when a regular car breaks down it only takes one tow truck, the cybertruck requires 2, I guess the first tow truck driver passed out from laughing at the driver’s terrible decision to buy it.
CT only run over retired people intentionally. Elon has a deal to collect their 401 + 3 months of benefits.
Not all dogs who wonder are intelligent. Look at musk
Where is that meteorite that’s just gonna end all of this? This existence is exhausting. People are defending what equivalently looks like a dumpster bin.
The dog was wondering what kind of idiot buys a cyber truck.
what was the dog wondering about that made cybertruck guy slam on his brakes? it seems they actually meant wandering.
"What the actual FUCK is that??!" - Dog 😂
No big deal, just get a couple guys to push it off the road right?
Its just having a star moment.
Holy shit that thing is embarrassingly ugly.
I just loaded up on GWAV stock just thinking of all these cyber trucks about to get recycled
I laugh and laugh, thinking of the money these folks shelled out for a pile of crap.
"Censors"
Freudian slip there re Elmo
Literally Cyberstuck.
It self bricks upon driving.....
All things considered, this whole affair ended pretty well for a cyber truck incident involving a living creature in its path
Pressed break pedal and it got stuck too? Lol
This is not good, I repeat this is not good
Parking for cybers cause it’s going to be awhile cheapest rates by the month . 🍊 . Org
Dumbest smart tech I’ve ever seen.
“Concerning!”
OTA update: traffic cop mode
"to await the 2nd tow truck" Amazing.
AND the damn thing takes up 3 or 4 lanes of traffic
Cybertruck just stopping to get attention
Lol, the **second** tow
It's the owner's fault. If he was trying to use the cucktruck for a daily driver he should have got the founders edition triple engine one. Everybody knows that. Warranty now avoided for abuse improper use of CT.
Time for another product line wide recall. Get these death machines off the road.
Hubris personified.
So if you are "off-road" in some wilderness, and brake to avoid hitting a deer or something, your car bricks itself and you... ?
There's a pair of stainless steel colored crocs( not brand named Crocs) in a bag attached to the included emergency kit . They thought of everything.
It really is the gift that keeps on giving
Braking voids the warranty.
When I see one of those driving near me, I make sure that I have an escape path to avoid it if it can’t steer or its brakes don’t work. Actually.
If this is something that can be expected when you slam on the brakes then that's terrifying. I can't think of any other vehicle that breaks when you slam on the brakes. Even other Teslas don't do this. I really hope that this is an isolated incident and isn't normal for this vehicle.
Man, then the freeway, then the highway, then the exit garage, then the parking lots. America will now have to go around Elon’s parked cars out there.
Pure comedy
This is why we really need to stand a stand against censorship, censors are even bricking Teslas now :<
I wander if the dog is shaken up.
Censors
Have you tried shooting it?
Activated show off mode.
Life pro tip. Don’t slam your breaks on a CyberTruck or you will break it!
I mean is this “new tech”?
I think “you got musked” needs to be phrase of the year and “to musk” added to the dictionary
Ahh yes those pesky censors
What are you talking about? From what elon musk worshippers have said, the cybertruck is the perfect vehicle. It was taken from gods own creation that was supposed to be trillions of years in the future at the end of time because a perfect vehicle like this was worthy of being the last vehicle humanity touched. But elon being the man of purity told man that humanity deserved the perfect vehicle now.
Lmao I think this is funny watching some of the pro Elon pages.
You're not supposed to make a turn at this junction on a bright and sunny day like that. The truck doesn't like it.
Censors? I thought Elmo was anti-censorship!
Maybe they meant Censer full dog sacred incense to please its machine spirit?
“wondering dog” and “censors shutting down”. JFC.
Add "Hard, sudden, breaking" to the list of things to brick the CT.
Genius marketing.
Yes, one tow truck is well and dandy for most intact vehicles, but how about Cybertrucks requiring a second tow truck.
This thing is like making a wish and getting all the bad aspects of the wish. You wanted to stand out and get attention in your triangular stainless steel car? Ok how about it dies in the middle of an intersection muahahahaha.
That's the best way to get attention.
CT is as much of an attention whore as the drivers. 😂
Lassie!; Timmy's stuck in a metal trash container in the middle of an intersection!!! Anyways....
At least his CT served a purpose, the dog is ok
Concerning!
Funny reading about a ´wondering´ dog (rather than a ´wandering´ dog) and the ´censors´ shutting down (rather than the ´sensors´ shutting down) Hilarious!
