    Reminder to keep one of those window breaker hammers in your car.

    Also don’t buy cars from megalomaniacal nazis.

      Just to be clear so people don’t think they are protected when they’re not: those window strikers ONLY work if your car windows are TEMPERED glass. They are 100% useless on laminated glass. The Cybertruck’s “unbreakable Armor Glass” is laminated.

        Oh, great, then when it catches fire, and you’re going to die a certain fiery death, you can use it to bash yourself in the head to death for buying a SwastiKKKar.

      Unluckly, choosing big cars with very strong/resistant materiais as daily driver means any recklessness that results in accidents involving other drivers are more letal for the smaller car.

      So choosing a cybertruck probably means you have better survival chances in crashes against smaller cars in general.

    These horrific deaths and injuries are tragic. I see too many schadenfreude comments here approving of people dying just because they chose to drive a vehicle most people don’t like. If there is blame, it is not on the victims, but on Tesla and the regulators we trust to ensure minimum and obvious safety features.

      I disapprove the Schadenfreude comments, but this is not merely a “vehicle most people don’t like”. It is a dangerous vehicle unnecessarily threatening health and even live of other members of the community, especially of children. There is a reason why it is not street legal in the EU.

        I agree the EU regulators made the right call, and this vehicle should not be on the public streets anywhere until it can meet basic safety standards, both for the drivers and for the public.

      Perhaps if we were just talking Teslas in general, but the cybertruck? I can’t imagine any non-assholes buying and driving those. That thing is a statement, a fascist “own-the-libs” statement in particular.

        The cybertruck was available to buy before he went full mask off. And not everyone is “in-touch” with everything.

        No compassion at all

        Disgusting.

            Felon Muskrat went full mask off way back in 2016 when he called child rescuers a Pedo.

            That wasn’t “mask off”, that was him being publicly petulant. That was him not knowing how to react to someone telling him “no”. It was the start of the cracks in his pubic veneer. Most rational people would say his reaction to that situation was ridiculous and childish, but I would bet there’s a good amount of people who still aren’t aware of what he said about the rescuers.

            His “mask off” moment was during the 2024 USA elections when he went full Nazi (openly).

            Granted, there were always indications for people who knew what to pay attention to, but that’s not most people.

        That’s how many people see it, but I know a few people that are entirely disconnected from “celeb culture” and the news in general, and just think the cybertruck is neat technology. And to be fair, putting aside the massive safety issues with it, it does have noteworthy technology that on their own are interesting.

        And I think the cross section of people who are interested in the cybertruck, people who are not particularly intelligent, and who also have money are generally going to be the customer base. It’s fine to criticize, but to say “no sympathy” when they die is gross.

          sorry I should have added the alternative option of “is ignorant of the fact and should be expected to be able to figure that out”

          if somebody won’t think of how their actions affect others, fuck them.

          This punchline comment was voted best religious joke ever according to a 2005 online poll. And anyone posting the best religious joke ever, according to a 2005 online poll must possess a tremendous amount of humorous insight and knowledge. As far as I am concerned, that is way more cool than meeting some people from your local metropolitan area while on a cruise or a Mexico/Caribbean resort vacation.

    Cremation is a new feature. It’ll be an extra $2500 and comes with a decision engine on whether you should live or die (door unlocking). Tesla knows, trust Elon.

    I can’t fathom having my husband burn to death so badly that he’s just … evaporated. But then again I can’t imagine my husband ever wanting a cybercuck so there’s also that.
