You'll get your money back as settlement and you can still keep the truck. :p
Be real bud, he admitted it was an honest mistake on his part. WTF people have to blame everyone but themselves in this society :-(

Same thing happened to me! Far less severe - I was parked on a decline, and the door hit my leg and caused a pretty good scrape (no blood drawn). It was painful enough I’ve been feeling it all day. Obviously I feel stupid - but it’s at least good to know I’m not alone

Don't let your ignorance if internet forum and the meaning of emoticon overcome your false sense of self righteousness. :p

I think I had my leg too close to the truck as I closed the door. The corner of the door managed to hit leg perfectly…
Ouch, that's a serious laceration! Another part of the truck got me soon after delivery.
I had the frunk open while installing my Wall Connector and was using the frunk as a convenient table for my tools. I walked into the plastic protected corner of the frunk lid with my temple. It's approximately eye level on me.
I'm glad they protected that corner with plastic, otherwise I might have needed stitches.

Sanding or grinding a slight radius would probably help a lot.

Be careful when closing your cybertruck door!

I parked on an incline, exited the truck and as I was closing the door I manage to clip the very corner of the door against my leg. When I got home the wife said I needed to go get stitches, so I did.

I’m clumsy, so this is 100% my fault lol

I still love the truck!

The corner really isn’t that sharp, I was just lucky enough to close the door with enough force and hit my leg perfectly to cause damage.

Ouch! I did the same thing with my Yukon, turning and moving my head to run hard into the corner of it's partially raised hatch, except it would have hit my eye if I hadn't been wearing glasses. The lens popped out the frame but saved my eye. The frame was warped. It was my fault, not the truck's.....

Sorry about your leg!

I know the CT will get blamed for this, but there's nothing unique or special about that sharp corner on your door.

Here's the door on my Honda element. It has been on the roads for over 20 years and I'm sure more than a few people have been injured by it.
