 @rhempel @Wifiwits @LilahTovMoon e.g. Volkswagen/VW cars won’t start charging if ground is not connected properly - so while you can’t charge them from a power bank, you won’t be able to electrocute yourself either. 3 comments
 @rhempel «I suspect Elon did have a ham-handed approach to Cybertrucks» — wait, so it's elon now, not those engineers you mentioned before? ;-) @tivasyk I realize I'm speaking out both sides of my mouth :-) Watch James May's review of Cybertruck - he clearly points out how the side body panel protrudes where it meets the hood - it's a pedestrian killer for sure. I will bet Cybertruck had a lot of engineers quit - and that vehicle was an Elon pet project - and he got his way over objections by bullying. I'm sensitive to this because I'm an engineer - and I've been put in tight design binds, but I've never compromised public safety. |

@vampirdaddy @Wifiwits @LilahTovMoon Yeah I totally get it about Cybertrucks and pedestrians - they really are killers. One of the reasons cars ended up with soft corners years ago was to bounce humans instead of slicing them.
I suspect Elon did have a ham-handed approach to Cybertrucks.
