Imagine being put in the bed on one of these thinking you’ll be saved and then getting your artery severed.

Former Jalop writer Jason Torchinsky had a great take on where we are with driver assistance. Which is that the current level of autonomy is far more dangerous than driving one’s self.
Can’t fix a material deformation with an OTA update.
I’d rather pay $80k for a car with the appropriate redundancies than $40k for a car that can only LARP as self-driving.
Autopilot is just a lane-keeping assist (LKA) with cruise control. My wife drives a 2023 Model Y and I have a Hyundai Santa Cruz. My Hyundai also has LKA. If you want the Tesla to drive for you, you’d have to upgrade to either “Enhanced Autopilot” or “Full Self-Driving.”
I haven’t seen/read any reviews for the Vinfast, but the Fisker Ocean’s bad press comes mainly from software bugs. The design and execution of the physical car itself were actually praised.
The Cybertruck is absolutely NOT the first production vehicle with a 48v architecture. Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar, Bentley, Porsche, and even Hyundai have had 48v systems in their mild hybrids since at least 2018. I believe the Cybertruck is the first EV with a 48v system, but Tesla is in no way a pioneer of this…
It has no crumple zones. It has no side impact rails. It has a steer by wire system with no mechanical backup, so if you lose power mid-corner you’re going to die. It cannot go through a car wash without ruining the body panels. It has a windshield wiper that breaks down constantly. It has a manual release for the…
They’re saying that StalePhish is a Tesla shill, not Jalopnik. They rarely say anything negative about Tesla...
You can’t reach into the bed from the side. The tailgate doesn’t close automatically. The windshield is absurdly flat and large so the big windshield wiper fails. The pedals fall off until you bolt them back on. The unpainted stainless is so hard to clean that half of buyers are wrapping the vehicle. The door handles…
It irks me that there are people in the Venn diagram that are this dumb and this well off.
Walking on your truck’s windshield to prove... something. So damn weird.
What a complete shit for brains this assclown is. And I don't just mean walking on the glass. One guess who he's voting for.
“Y’all hate on this truck even though this redefines what trucking should have been. Trucking hasn’t changed in years.” I didn’t realize ‘trucking’ had a new global ambassador.
None of the features you mentioned (except for maybe the voltage) are unique in any way and are technologies that have been around for a decade or more. The steer-by-wire is not the first, but is apparently the first without a mechanical fail-safe. So the Cybertruck IS the best at deleting practical engineering and…
Trump says what he thinks will work in the moment. He has no values or beliefs. If he finds himself in front of a crowd full of Hindus he’ll declare that his Trump Steaks are vegetables. You can’t lie if you live in a world without truth.
The best part? He could have just deleted the video and not posted it. No one would have known. That is some real big-brain right there.
Moron does moronic thing to a moronic truck designed by a moron.
Further proving that anyone even considering a cybertruck is far below average in intelligence.
