  I don’t think programming is a problem, auto closing trunks and doors aren’t strong enough. You can test that on any self closing trunk door, it will sound and feel awful but they’re not strong at all.

    They absolutely are strong enough to break fingers. The Tesla dumpster is famous for cutting into fingers with the self closing trunk

      Tesla isn’t a good example of how anything is done in the industry, but rather of how not to do it.

      I don’t doubt Tesla’s doors are designed to mutilate their customers, much like they’re designed to trap them inside in the event of a fire, probably because Musk’s ketamine addled brain though it’d be funny, but that’s not how any other company would do it, even if only because because lawsuits cost money and weaker locks are cheaper.
