TL;DR: The CyberTruck is 17 times more likely to have a fire fatality than a Ford Pinto.

This headline reminded me that Mitch "Turtle" McConnell's sister-in-law drowned in a Tesla in Feburary.

Wups, wrong comment

Ah yes, this old article from February, that included the Las Vegas Fireworks explosion in their calculation of exploding CyberTrucks!

Great journalism.

What's the name of this show again?

Thanks! Yeah I think I might check it out again. Wasn't in the mood when it was on.

Can very much recommend. It’s a hidden gem. Sadly there’s only two rather short seasons

I actually don't know! Just saw the gif and liked it :)

[–] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 3 points 7 hours ago

It's perfect!

Maybe we should have some sort of analog handle that doesn't require power?

[–] towerful@programming.dev 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, you mean I have to manually activate a series of levers, linkages and mechanism?
Outrageous!

I do concede this vital functionality should be in a quick-access menu for ease of access, on the "additional" page of the "traditional controls" submenu in the "car functions" dashboard.

Perhaps we should first make the user enable “legacy” mode in the settings which can only be done by tapping the firmware version number 10 times. But they can press too quickly, we need to make sure it was intentional.

We also must also reset this when the car is turned off in order to ensure our customers aren’t confused.

Also it voids the warranty…

I'm curious how explosive it is compared to the Ford Exploder personally, that's a more direct comparison of vehicle type. And those were rolling over and exploding all over the place much more recently than the Pinto back in the 70s.
