As a Cybertruck owner learned voluntarily, you really should not stick your finger in the side of a closing automatic trunk.
The Tesla Cybertruck comes with a lot of quirks, some of which are charming and some of which are alarming. Among the most concerning is the shape of the openings on the forward luggage compartment, or 'frunk.' The design lifts fully in one piece, leaving sharp edges along the side that have been known to cleave a carrot clean in two. Tesla recently updated the opening and closing software to make this mechanism safer, but it is still not a good idea to actually put your finger in there.
This is a nice little safety feature and one that will actually make the truck more usable for buyers, but Cybertruck owners are here to test the extremes, so Judkins goes one step further: He puts his index finger in the opening and lets it close again. Not a pinky or a ring finger. The pointer finger.Unfortunately for Judkins, the frunk simply shuts on his finger.
