A Cybertruck owner has a broken finger after trying to show the truck's frunk was safe.

If you're squeamish you may not want to watch the video.



What happens when you stick your finger in the closing trunk—or, in this case, the “frunk”—of a Tesla Cybertruck? It’s a question that way too many Cybertruck owners are asking themselves these days. And a new video posted to YouTube appears to show the most grotesque answer to date.

The video, uploaded on Sunday by YouTube user Joe Fay, starts by explaining that viewers thought he was cheating in a previous video by not just letting the frunk close properly.

“In my last video everybody kept saying that when the Tesla Cybertruck was coming down on my finger that I pushed up to make it open up and sense my finger but that’s just not true,” Fay explains.

“And to prove that wrong I’m going to put my finger completely flat against the Cybertruck this time. I’m not going to hover it. I’ll put it completely flat and see if it crushes my finger because everybody is asking,” Fay continues.

Incredibly, the content creator even tries it out with a stick first, which promptly breaks in half.

“But first I’m going to test it out with this stick. This is exactly what I’m going to do with my finger. I’m going to put it right there and hopefully my finger doesn’t break like that but let’s find out,” Fay says.

I've often read some really stupid warnings in manuals, and wonder, "How did this get in here and what kind of idiot would do this??" Well...

And right now there's a conversation on another Rivian forum about putting cats in the gear tunnel. When we got our R1T, my wife and I were laughing at the warning in the manual, "DO NOT PUT PETS IN THE GEAR TUNNEL!" Omg, why would they have to say that??? Well....
