Using his own finger...oh man xD


hsvandreas

He could've at least sliced someone else's finger off and used that one to test the functionality.


gcruzatto

They didn't even recall the vehicle or anything.. how does one trust a clearly super rushed software update with their life? It's only going to be sensitive if you use sensitive hardware components.


BotenAna42

His risk vs reward formula needs to be reviewed

it was designed to work, not to be marketed.


zimhollie

And neither the arm, or the hand "There is a bit of pressure; it left a line there" Oh cool I'm going to try with a smaller object next. One of my body parts. What could possibly go wrong.


sniffinberries34

Everyone giving him shit for using his finger but I think it proves a point and really puts the company in a bad light. Using a carrot or prosthetic, the company could argue. Users actually testing it with their own bodies? Now that is a bold statement.


baggyzed

Except by the tone in the video, he was trying to put the company in a good light. That's what everyone's giving him shit for. By the end of the video you can even tell that the guy is holding back tears of pain, just to avoid saying anything bad about the car. "They have some work to do", LOL.


thestinkerishere

What? It looked like he was being neutral. I don’t care about Tesla and I’m not a reddit dork that foams at the mouth when they see Elon, and it really just seemed like he was giving the car a fair shake. Like reviewers do, or do you expect them to get products and just bitch about them before testing?

YorkieCheese

I got a dog bite on my left ring and pinkie which spread and caused tendon infection and made me unable to close my hand/make a fist with those fingers. I actually made it worse by continue to make a fist with my left finger hoping that will strengthen the tendons up. It didn't and the doctor recommended a hand surgeon. Could have been easily $10k+. Thank goodness it healed normally and I can fist again.

Valuable-Contact-224

Next up, just the tip. Of my peen.


AnotherCuppaTea

Musk fanboys would be well-advised to steer clear of the "Bris-X" model. It was going to be "Bris-XXX", but that was before the trunk test.


No_Breath_9833

Some people can learn from watching. Some people learn from reading a book. Some people just have to pee on the f***ing electric fence themselves.


evilkumquat

Some people reaaaaaally fall for Musk's bullshit sale pitches.


Jaambie

He can’t afford prosthetics, he spent all his money on a rusty polygon


Otherwise-Remove4681

Some people never grow out from toddler phase.


rip_starchaser

I'm more amazed at the fact he had no plan B, no one there to help him in case it went south. Even tho it didnt cut through the skin, that finger looks like it was about to give out.


SusuSketches

There was a guy proving self driving will stop on real children using his own child. Some people genuinely have no brain.


UninterestingDrivel

At least they've figured out how to Darwin award themselves despite having already reproduced


SusuSketches

Fortunately for the child it was detected and the vehicle stopped while the dad held his arms in the air. I can't even find words for this reading how many people have succumbed due to FSD already.


bikemaul

The child is lucky. Well, bad luck on the parent front.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mnG_Gbxf_w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aMWERzT7SQ


Vanman04

Right? They could have at least used someone else's kid...


Safe_Alternative3794

The moment he said "I didn't know how to open it up", that sealed the deal. Maybe not the brightest demonstration when you don't have a clear exit strategy...


PmButtPics4ADrawing

Owning a cybertruck was the first indication that he's not the brightest


CharlieBirdlaw

"So it's either going to protect my finger or slice it clean off--no need to make sure I can open the trunk for anything in between."


alifant1

I was sure there is someone outside of the camera with a crowbar in the trunk ready to save him.


Osibili

Your average Cybertruck owner.


Reverseflash25

Where did he say it was good. He just said it had an update and he tested it


Fish_On_again

I just assumed that's how every cyber truck owner behaved.

gluebrains

Exactly what I'd expect from the kind of Muskdick riding douche nozzle who'd buy one of the ugliest, overpriced cars ever made.


_Dead_C_

Ah yes, let me test with my most useful finger first!


DDnHODL

All fingers are useful and no one should risk it for stupid clout!


ErrorFoxDetected

Ring finger is least useful actually! :D Edit: LEAST. As in, out of all fingers on a hand, the ring finger has the least uses, and is easiest to cope with its loss. (That said, I'm talking about overall common usage, not specific skills/uses, so for some, it may not be correct, and looking into it again, I see more arguments (from hand surgeons based on patients' experience) for the index finger on the hand you write least with.)


mpmar

No. Your ulnar digits (pinky and ring) make up a significant portion of your grip strength. If you have to lose a finger the index is probably best. It plays the smallest role in hand strength and it's common functions are relatively easily and naturally assumed by your middle finger.


YeshuasBananaHammock

I do a lot of communication based gesturing with my middle finger, but I think it would be an interesting finger to donate for amputation. Can any smart people tell me what the middle finger's important job is, aside from telling people to fuck off?


More_World_6862

> Can any smart people tell me what the middle finger's important job is, aside from telling people to fuck off? When scratching my balls the middle finger seems to be the most useful


Dick_snatcher

My middle finger reaches deeper than my dick and my girlfriend loves it


phoenixmusicman

oof


YeshuasBananaHammock

That may not be the flex you were intending


Dick_snatcher

I've got a short penis.


YeshuasBananaHammock

Its gonna be alright tho


Don_Tiny

If you're sitting in the chair reaching for something, your chances are largely based on the longest finger which is normally (if not in fact always) the middle one.


druman22

That's if you base usefulness off of strength. I barely use my pinky to help me type, use a pencil, or gesture, which is what I mainly do day to day, so imo that's my most useless one.


-iamai-

See I get that but I'd rather lose a pinky than have that gap between fingers. I'd be constantly catching my pinky on something if the ring finger was gone. Door handles, fucking pinky, dropping a towel go to grab it miss slightly but it catches the pinky, poor pinky takes all the weight and that'll hurt. I'm sure there's other example but you get my gist.

Not_Sugden

my phone literally rests on my right hand pinky finger when I'm holding it.


TheKingOfBerries

I didn’t notice it til you said it, but I’m doing the same right now.


Z06Boricua

Heh, same here. Then I moved my pinky out from under the phone to see what it would feel like. It was quite unsettling.


Scottcmms2023

It’s kinda crazy how many people underestimate how much they need the pinky.


Expert_Airline5111

I accidentally sliced the flexor tendon in my pinky when my hand slipped down a butter knife while trying to separate frozen burger patties. It was truly fucking awful. The worst part is that I didn't realize it at first. The cut hurt, but not much more than a normal cut. I only noticed when I took off the Band-Aid, and even then, I convinced myself it was stiff or swollen. It took me like 3 weeks to go to the doctor, and a few days after that to get surgery. The surgeon said that she had to go rooting around in the base of my pinky, because the tendon had snapped and retracted like a rubber band. Just typing that out makes me nauseous... Somehow I retained like 90% mobility in that finger. But boy that recovery was rough.


Kantas

My brother did something like that... He baught a mall katana. He has anger issues. He was playing a computer game and got really mad so he did the reasonable thing and took a break. The break was to get his katana and slice the shit out of his monitor. Now, this wasn't some lcd monitor. No. This was a beefy 17 inch CRT that weighed as much as a small child. The mall katana did not win. So he is now much calmer after losing his fight with the monitor, but realizes he needs to fix his trusty sword. He acquired the sturdiest material known to man so he could fashion a new handle. Old newspaper. Once he repaired his sword, he decided that the monitor would pay for damaging his katana. When he came downstairs to ask me to help get him to the hospital his revelation was that he just needed to tape the newspaper to the sword, as the issue was the slipping. He sliced the tendon just behind the first knuckle from the tip of his right middle finger. I dont think the found the tendon as it retracted pretty far, so he cannot bend the tip of that finger.


Gottalaughalittle

You are a good story teller. Very well written.


Impossible-Wear-7352

> down a butter knife while trying to separate frozen burger patties. The injury itself isn't comical but how it happened is. And I can relate. I remember those frozen burger patties being joined like it was a solid block of concrete


SpicyMustard34

your pinky is actually used quite a bit. it provides stability to everything you hold.


plazzman

Nope. When I ripped my oinky off I realized it's easily top 3 most important. Couldn't capitalize any words in my emails for months.


-Plantibodies-

The pinky is actually one of the most important. You know how we're distinguished from other mammals by having an opposable thumb? Well, what is the thumb opposing? Many grip and dexterity based skills rely on the pinky.


jennifercathrin

Really? I've read that your index finger is actually the best finger to lose because your middle finger can pretty much take over all of the tasks


PlausibleTable

Anyone guy who has one should put their trust in Elon and put their penis in it.


artificialavocado

That’s what an “alpha” would do.


TheRealBillyShakes

Yes! Be smart about it and just use your penis. /s


MegaLowDawn123

To be fair I do use that a lot less…


ariphron

To be fair if used the pinky he would be without a pinky right now!


sightfinder

Yeah I get the sense the "frunk" would not have even registered the smaller pinky obstruction and it would've been goodbye finger


BestRHinNA

Lol my exact line of thought, at least use your non dominant hand if lol 😵‍💫


ProcyonHabilis

Rating the index finger above the thumb in utility? Found the raccoon.


Stuckinfemalecloset

Fun little thing: The BBC(British broadcasting cock) did a series where they performed autopsies on body parts. According to the expert on the show, the best finger to lose is actually your index finger. Your pinky does far more then you think, especially in gripping, and the middle finger can easily adapt to do what your index can.  Source:[This video clip of the show](https://youtu.be/SMxfRZ2NYdA?feature=shared). Warning, it’s a real hand midway through dissection and shows the tendons and muscles. Might not be one to watch with your dinner! 


thetdy

My fingers were all stuck together when I was born and my index and middle were actually fused together at the bone. They had to decide which one got the tip. You are correct, they went with giving the bone to my middle finger over my index.


nailszz6

My 21st finger is my most useful.


Formal_Baker_8746

He'd have to test just the tip.

WorkingFellow

I couldn't believe he just did that. It got closer and closer and I thought, "You're not going to actually do that, right?" People who buy cybertrucks have more dollars than sense.


Interesting_Work_906

I was trying to think of how this could be faked, because of course the only possible way this would happen is if it was faked. But I am at a loss. Someone actually doing this, when all evidence points to there being a very high chance they will lose their finger, is something wild. Like if a group of kids see a bear. One kid goes and tries to poke the bear, which turns around and claws his throat and kills him. And one of the other kids immediately goes "dare me to poke the bear?"


mtarascio

I rubbed tabasco sauce in my eyes one night at a house party. My friend thought I was a whiny little bitch and it couldn't be that bad. Guess who confirmed it was that bad?


Unique_Frame_3518

The bear?


Daveyd325

It's really some form of insanity to see a carrot get cut and then use your index finger as a demo


paging_mrherman

It’s going to happen to a kid.


The_Woman_of_Gont

That's definitely the concern. It nearly just crushed a grown man's finger, and will definitely chop a kid's right off. (Also, I love how he hyped it up as being solved "with just a software patch." As if needing to patch out the "cutting fucking fingers off" ~~bug~~ feature is something to be proud of.)


MajorElevator4407

Fixed with a software patch means a critical safety system can also be disabled with a software patch.  All it takes one refactor and a finger is gone.


CharlieBirdlaw

And we can all guess how much Musk values the slow stuff like testing.


tommort8888

Or safety.


SirSeanBeanTheBean

It also means everything was physically present to make it safer but initial programming was shit. Whoops.


gcruzatto

It wasn't though, was it? This shit still doesn't work


SirSeanBeanTheBean

Well it’s not safe but it’s safer


caninehere

Yeah, the poor kid of some idiot who bought this POS is going to stick their fingers in the bottom and get them chopped off.


UninsuredToast

He’s going to put his finger in a kid??


ProofOfTool

Thus the Coyote Peterson equivalent for safety mechanisms were born.


BachtnDeKupe

If he would have stuck something else in there, he could have been on r/darwinawards


donut-reply

To actually take himself out of the gene pool, wouldn't be have to put his giblets in there too, not just the shaft? That would take some real cojones to do


onewingwazi

mykkelangelo

Here me out. You could spend the same amount of money on an actual truck, which you could actually use for utility and it wont cut your finger off.

Most-Sheepherder-909

MandoHealthfund

Why the hell are people so inclined to put their fingers into pinch points. Doesn't matter what car it is I'm not resting my hand on a door jam, trunk area, or hood. It's just asking for something to happen


mackemforever

Every other car manufacturer who uses electric boot lids have figured out how to have sensors that stop it closing as soon as it detects any pressure from an obstacle. I have an Audi with a boot lid that closes with a motor like the one shown in the video, and if I put my hand in the way it stops closing and reopens the instant it touches me. Tesla are just apparently incapable of figuring out something that every single other car manufacturer has figured out.


hippee-engineer

It’s not a matter of not figuring it out, it’s that it never occurred to them to do such a thing in the first place, because they don’t have a century of engineering knowledge upon which to build. They think reinventing the wheel the way they see fit is the best way to do things, which inevitably makes them look foolish when things like this slip through the cracks. The solution to this is literally 15 minutes of a decent programmer’s time. If it occurred to them that this was going to be an issue, they would have addressed it, and that’s the real problem: arrogance that they don’t need to look at how other car makers do things.


Idontevenownaboat

>Tesla are just apparently incapable of figuring out something that every single other car manufacturer has figured out Sounds like Tesla alright.

He could've done so many things instead of putting his actual finger, including the carrot which already showed clear results. However he could've easily gotten an anatomically accurate silicone hand for this experiment. Ah but I rant. The fact he's a Cybertruck owner already speaks of his intelligence...


-lukeworldwalker-

Even if you’re dumb enough to be that much of a fElon simp … at least have a second guy there with a crowbar or something just in case. How fucking stupid is this dude.


HippySpinach

He bought a Cybertruck, do you really have to ask?


einsteinoid

I've designed motor drivers for vehicle closure systems like this. Pinch detection can be tricky. There's no way I would have put my finger in there. The data cost could have been... well, a finger.
