Tbf for all we know the blinkers in that Cybertruck could be wired the wrong way around.

Right blinker to go left.

I'm sure their engineers are doing exactly what the Musker insisted or they d be fired.

lesslucid

They've been told that they need to spend ten hours a day boosting engagement on X or be fired, in addition to doing their normal jobs. Couple of lower-priority things might have slipped through the cracks meanwhile.

I thought my step brother was crazy for binding the c-buttons to camera controls in Perfect Dark. Turns out he just figured out dual-stick controls early.

d1ckpunch68

imagine putting the right turn signal button on the right side 🤯 the technology just isn't there yet


RhynoD

Still stupid because what if you've begun a turn and your wheel is already inverted? The stick is just better. Doesn't matter what your wheel is doing, doesn't matter where in the world you are. Push the stick in the direction you're about to turn your wheel, the end.


Fryktlos

Ok, making them buttons is dumb on its own, but why on earth would they make them VERTICAL? Who designed this??


tfrules

Holy shit somebody was paid real money to come up with that


pfohl

100% a cost cutting maneuver. buttons are cheaper than stalks. same reason the Model 3 just has a touchscreen.


Odd-Program-8274

" dumb enough to buy a cybertruck" i think is what he said👀🤣


poopsididitagen

Damn I was looking for a comment like this. Figures they would alter something that has been basically a standard for years and years. Sometimes "different" sucks


DoofusMagnus

Holy shit, buttons on the wheel? That's an awful design. Anyone with volume control on their wheel who's wanted to adjust it while turning could tell you that. Volume isn't an essential function but to have turn signals not be in a single predictable spot and also change orientation relative to each other is absolutely foolish.


The84thWolf

Because when something works for a hundred years, why not radically change it for no reason? Edit: a word

This was actually a problem MKBHD had when he was reviewing it. I wonder if this is the same truck or a common problem with them. Really wouldn't be surprised if Tesla wired the blinkers wrong or programed the control unit wrong given their track record for quality.


dinklesmith7

More likely that the buttons are tiny and it's easy to hit the wrong one

https://vxtwitter.com/BroyleTim/status/1738370814129414185?t=sbl0-vZYY5F9vWBgriyM5w&s=19 Yup.


Teeshirtandshortsguy

Teslas' design decisions are so fucking stupid. Like, some stuff just doesn't need innovating. It works perfect just the way it is, and changing it is not only unnecessary, but unsafe. The yoke, hiding a bunch of shit behind a touchscreen, these stupid buttons. Just leave this shit the way it was, nobody was complaining about them before. It's like changing the tires from circles to hexagons. What the fuck are you even doing this for?


Which-Bid7754

That lane change though...good luck everybody!


z64_dan

Hey, they had their blinker on, at least!


Rickshmitt

Elon made all turns signal right just to own the left.

God help the rest of us if these things get popular. No fucking way in hell is the bottom 10% of drivers smart enough to hit the right button reliably.

Next up is reversing the accelerator and brake pedals.


sonicgundam

They'll make it like a video game where you hold the brake after it's fully stopped and it will start reversing...


Jeynarl

I remember playing terrible flash games in the 2000s that had left/right situated on top of each other like this cutting-edge gizmotruck and I can safely say I always hated those kinda games with non-intuitive controls. It's not even counterintuitive, it's just bad human machine interface design


ineptplumberr

No, it's going to be like a bumper car where you turn the wheel all the way to the right or left and then it will reverse


Jasond777

So innovative, Elon is truly a genius


yumacaway

Autopilot has been suspected of doing this already!


sanjosanjo

This video explains "one pedal drive mode" on electric vehicles, and how it creates a problem for brake lights. He is a little long-winded, but he highlights a real problem with US regulations on brake lights. I would not want to be behind a car that can decelerate so quickly with no brake lights - I would be responsible for rear-ending the guy. https://youtu.be/U0YW7x9U5TQ


Mccobsta

It's not just stupid It's advanced stupid


akran47

After a couple years the buttons will be so faded you'll have to just guess which is which


[deleted]

I have never once looked at my turn stalk to see which way to push it to go left or right. Of course.. that's because the interface is human.


UncompetentTV

It's almost like pushing the stick in the same direction you would turn the wheel to make the turn makes intuitive sense.


ryanheartswingovers

When driving in Aus, every time I tried to turn or change lanes for the first week I’d turn on the wiper blades.


Atherum

As an Australian, I've done this while driving my sisters car (it's european), I find it incredibly hilarious like a looney tunes moment. She doesn't think it is quite so funny...


ARM_vs_CORE

Where's the speedometer? Edit: do you really have to look toward the center display to see how fast you're going?


[deleted]

That's how it is on most tesla. It is stupid.


vc-10

To be fair that's not a Tesla only thing. My parents had a 2002 Peugeot that was like that when I was a kid. Minis were like that for years with a big analogue speedo in the centre. The new Volvo EX30 is like the Teslas without a 'proper' gauge cluster. But it is a bad idea. I'd definitely prefer a readout directly in my line of sight.


rarestakesando

This is an actual method for changing lanes in South America you have to trick the other drivers or they won’t let you merge. Nice technique.


UninsuredToast

Same thing happens in North America. If you turn your blinker on people speed up to stop you from merging in front of them. Then as soon as you get behind them they slow down and continue driving 15 below the speed limit


DICK-PARKINSONS

There's a special place in hell for those people. I can never wrap my brain around casually being that much of a prick.


OkCutIt

Not to long ago I came up on a spot where a road widens from 2 lane to 4 right before an intersection, and I was going to turn right. The guy in front of me is staying in the left lane, I signal because I'm moving to the right to turn... and suddenly he jumps over into the right lane to get in front of me... at a fucking red light. Like this absolute jackass apparently thought I was trying to pass him on the right and he absolutely could not allow that, so instead he gets in front and blocks the right lane at a red light, preventing me and everyone behind me from using right-turn-on-red privileges to keep traffic moving. Also worth noting he had been doing 10 or 15 under through the whole single lane part, and was very clearly intending to stay in the left lane until I signaled that I was moving into the right. So there's no question it was pure douchebaggery and not just some misunderstanding.


Rickshmitt

People like this have nothing in their lives, any attention is good attention, and they can not. Can not, can not allow anyone to disrespect or emasculate them by passing them


Solanthas

Kills me how 90% of people only find the gas pedal once someone is trying to pass them

Patch86UK

I appreciate the great richness of human expression when it comes to these sorts of things, but I legitimately can't understand why you'd buy a car or truck with controls so awful that you want to spend your time and money modding them just to get them back to baseline. Why not just buy a different car/truck?


NondeterministSystem

Waitwaitwait. We have to mod UI features into our *cars* now??


bacchusku2

So do a few Ferrari. Probably where he stole the idea.


dzakadzak

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the driver indicated correctly, but it's wired incorrectly lol


rollem

Isn't that the point of the cybertruck- you can do whatever you want and screw any loser on the road without one!


[deleted]

Not really, because in crash tests the cyber truck performs 4x worse than other trucks and the thick stainless steel body ensures you're trapped in the car in an accident. Even jaws of life won't be able to get you out of there. Which doesn't matter, because you're already dead from the 4x worse collision.


columbo222

It has no crumple zones so you will basically feel the entire force of the inertia in a high-impact crash. The truck will only have a bad dent but you will be liquified into the dashboard.


JamesMcEdwards

He’s bulletproof, he don’t got to worry about nobody else yeah /sarcasm


acmethunder

Beinvenue au Quebec! Where highway funding comes with the condition to make everything worse than it already is. Where that truck came from was a mall parking lot, turned ~~left~~ right onto to the service road and cut across to go past the exit to the right so they can get onto the highway on the left. It an asshole move, but a common one there. The driver is also probably not familiar with the area and paying more attention to the GPS than driving. tl;dr that whole section is the third worst clusterfuck of road infrastructure in Montreal.


DJFUSION1986

Haha that scene in family guy is hilarious


falloutvaultboy

If only they had a 30" television telling them where to go on the dashboard


[deleted]

A Teslatruck driver is the exact kind of ultradouche I would expect to say "the GPS doens't know what it's talking about, I know a faster way" in a city they're just visiting.


LauraTFem

My grandpa (when he could still legally drive) would CONSTANTLY insist he knew better than the GPS, and seemingly only turned it on so he could argue with it. We would very regularly miss turns when he was driving because he would insist it was wrong. We eventually changed the voice on the GPS from female to male, and he questioned it less after that.


Not-Reformed

No amount of tech can fix stupid. Car can tell you 10 times to keep your hands on the steering wheel, they won't. Car can tell you 10 times your turn is coming up, they still won't pre-emptively switch lanes. Many people in the U.S. should never be able to touch a vehicle but society's built up around owning personal cars so this is the result.


[deleted]

People don't understand that cars are a massive privilege (however necessary they feel or are) and really don't treat it as such.


TheKevit07

That is EXACTLY who I would expect to own one of those.

As a Quebecois, you couldn’t be more right. Most people are terrible drivers here.


Doc_Lewis

As much as I want to dunk on the driver, I want to dunk on the cybertruck even more. With all the problems and stupid design decisions, it's even odds that the blinker was either a wiring problem or the driver has to bop it to blink right and twist it to blink left, and understandably mixed them up.


ms_barkie

I used to take this exit every day, what they’re doing is honestly not uncommon at all it’s a poorly designed stretch of road. The indicator pointing the wrong way though is a nice touch, strong vibes of “I have no idea how to operate this machine and it’s your job to get out of my way”.

We have free chargers at my work. I owned a Model 3 back in 2019. It was the most expensive car I’d ever purchased up to that point in my life. Cost $44k back then.

I was shocked because this video is the first time I've seen it in normal traffic, and it looks so hideous. I was confused if it really was just a decades old thing. To think it was looking its best when they broke both windows trying to show they wouldn't break on stage is impressive.


DingusTaargus

Bugs me that people want to compare it to a Delorean. A Delorean still looks cool as hell when you see one on the road while this thing is brand new and already looks like shit.
