@LilahTovMoon my wife and I were talking about this but like my old dog would get so exited for car rides he'd race to my car and put his paws on it, like imagine you forget to unplug after charging overnight? or like just your kid touching it

@Neineon77 @LilahTovMoon this is the real danger right? a amall child or pet on a humid or wet day (assuming the child is barefoot).

@BryanLastRedDrop @LilahTovMoon I mean the guy gets shocked in the video and I assume he's not barefoot, it's probably powerful enough that it doesn't matter, I wouldn't be surprised if it was equivalent to or worse than sticking a fork in a socket if it's charging overnight in a garage, DC charging could be deadly

@Neineon77 @LilahTovMoon I guess my point a 160 pound man can take it and laugh. a 50 lb child would get knocked unconscious (or worse)

NeiNeon :v_trans: :v_lesbian:

@BryanLastRedDrop @LilahTovMoon yeah and it seems like a faulty ground disconnecting somewhere so you won't know until someone gets shocked

@BryanLastRedDrop @Neineon77 @LilahTovMoon Try not to jump to conclusions based on an unverified video.

@anne_twain It was pointed out that when they demonstrate with the light bulb that the charge indicator shows it's fine until the explosion then it faults, even if they faked it by somehow pushing electricity thru the body it shows the charging system doesn't fault bc of that only a surge

it shows if a ground was detached the charging system will happily pump that electricity thru the body instead of just safely faulting and refusing to charge

@Neineon77 @LilahTovMoon This is a single EV in a video that's most likely faked. My car's not a cybertruck but I touch it all the time when it's charging. The car and the charging cable communicate with each other and if something's wrong, charging would not start. There's never been anything wrong.

I'm in 5 online EV groups ( one has 30,000 members) and I've never heard of anyone getting a shock from a charger, a charging cable or a car.
