Comment on A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well.

Lol. Nah, the trucks are super dumb. I just know I’d want a trunk that would be able to close more than an overly sensitive pressure detection permanently preventing it. For that matter, I think it’s dumb to attach a motor to a trunk.

It’s like you didn’t read or did read and didn’t actually complement what the article or linked video was actually taking about.
You sure would make a great fit at Tesla’ engineering team.

Friendly challenge: respond to that user again, in no more words than the first time, but address his question :)

Maybe you didn’t comprehend it? The close force attempt increases with each unsuccessful attempt at closing. That way seems better than it eventually not working at all a few years down the line as all the electronics get more jankety be cause something gets a bit bent or worn out and it always detects a small amount of resistance so it quits closing all together.
