True. However, it can still give you a serious scratch if you catch it the wrong way. The most dangerous spot is the bottom corner of the door. It slashed someone's leg before. I ...
It's not supposed to be sharp.

Don't FUD this.

If there are burrs or sharp points, get them fixed. Either make Tesla do it or bill them for it.

Hay, I'm not whining isn't this the right place to talk about all of our concerns with the cybertruck. No matter how big or small we want to hear about it right here now. Am I right? let me say this I love my cybertruck it sotole my heart a long time ago before we even met. and it wasn't cheap its performance makes up for all the cosmetic flaws so what we're doing here is teaching her how to put on some makeup so we can go out dancing.
Your idea is something i had already considered but don't intend on using. my main concern with this issue is not with my safety but with anyone else who would be oblivious to how sharp it is. and especially young kids who don't reach the top of the door and love touching everything. but I'm mostly curious to know how many more people have this issue or am I the only one.

If you give me your number, I can probably arrange to come over to your house and make all your knifes safe. I have a coarse diamond stone and have all the skills necessary to make sure there is nothing sharp left in your house, garage or driveway.

People these days are so squeamish and safety conscious it makes my childhood look worse than an episode of "The World's Most Dangerous Jobs". Somehow we survived, I doubt I've lost a quart of blood my entire life. Yes, things are sharp, don't cut yourself, take responsibility for yourself, and if you do get a bad cut, well, fer crying out loud, tend to it! It's not the end of the world!

Fear has been instilled in the younger generations in an unhealthy way. I'm not sure why people do that, except maybe the new "politically correct at all costs" has created a bunch of scaredy-cats. my generation had a lot of synonyms for people who had an unhealthy fear of things that really weren't dangerous, people might say you were a pansy, pussy, momma's boy, lightweight, namby-pamby, nancy, crybaby, softy, or a whole bunch of other impolitically correct things you could call someone who was overly worried about a little cut, some pain and suffering, or a bruise or bloody nose (or that monster hiding under your bed).

Since 9/11, I've had a pair of little, teeny fingernail scissors that were a family heirloom from the 1800's taken away from me by a TSA agent because they were too "dangerous" to have on a plane! :rolleyes:
a quart in your entire life haha! your childhood was a cake walk. because I know I have lost at least 2 to 3 gal. of blood on the field or in the rink I played hockey. motor sports, racing, camping, fishing, hunting, combat sports. and I grew up in LA's tough neighborhoods.

Why would they curse me? All they would need to do is follow up with some 180 grit and some 400 grit.

But that's beside the point here, we are talking about panel edges that are not supposed to be sharp (at all). If a burr is discovered, 60 grit will take it off. I would probably use 120-150 grit, but 60 grit is not a problem when used on panel edges to remove a burr.

The whole idea that Cybertruck edges are "razor sharp" is a false narrative. They are only sharp if they have a minor manufacturing defect (which is incredibly easy to remove).
LOOK DAMMIT, IF YOU WANT AN ARGUMENT YOU’LL HAVE TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT!

I just find it amazing how people express helplessness when they find something wrong.

I know how hard it can be to ask for the things that should be for some people - social anxiety is a thing - and how hard it can be to get companies to do what they should.

So I feel it's part of our job as a community to cheer people on to get the things they want fixed, fixed.

But also, to not express like it's permanent. That's the Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. It's a feeling, not a reality. It's up to us as a community to charge against the uncertainty and (and sometimes the false certainty) to make this place (and the world) a better place.

I'll cheer Tesla on, but also - don't let someone not do their job.

But you are under the assumption that the “sharp edge” is in fact a out of spec sharp edge and not just the fact that the cyber truck is nothing but a sharp edge and that’s where the funny comes in. It’s like buying a red car and complaining it’s to Red. It’s a bit silly and nitpicky. I mean if i went out side right now I'm sure i could find 10 sharp edges A body panel out of spec 1/8th and so on. Why Do we hold the truck to such an insane standard as if it’s not an assembly line truck that’s going to have some things.? It’s a crazy thing to me so instead of crapping on someone some of us make some jokes .

At no point in the design was 'you can cut yourself on the edge of the panels' was a design decision.

If you see the truck and understand there are no Rolled edges and think it wouldn’t be sharp in some areas maybe, then I got some swamp land in Florida for a cheap price hit me on the DM

If you think all edges should be shoddy and burr-prone, And you won't do your due diligence to make sure they're not, I think you're more of a sucker for sinking land than I am.
