News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Ok this has happened like 5 times now, how tf are these allowed
Well, the government organization that allowed consumers to complain, get the money back along with a settlement, and have the product recalled, was recently "fed into a wood chipper" by the guy who makes the cybertrucks.
Are they saying the doors were not damaged and still didn’t open? I could see the doors being damaged and resulting in them not opening. I’m sure that’s common.
The doors use a push button mechanism to open. There's no handle, no place to grip, nothing. You tap a button, that opens the door. Meaning if the internal electronics have been messed up, congratulations, that door isn't opening.
You can open the door by basically disassembling it and pulling on a cord, but nobody knows how to do that
Yeah, that sounds really easy to do while burning to death.
If only there was an easily accessible handle of some kind that could be used to open the door...
Someone outside of the vehicle cannot access this cord. Unconscious or disoriented passengers are fucked.
Someone outside of the vehicle should be either calling an ambulance or grabbing the jaws of life and telling the door it doesn't have a choice in the matter.
The jaws of life cannot be used if the vehicle is actively on fire.
Passengers dying because of the vehicle's aesthetic features is another square on the Tesla bingo card and another example of the insanity that this country has fallen into.
If the Cybertruck gets water into the door (y'know, like from rain) it's pretty common for the doors to also just open themselves whenever the fuck.
It's amazing what's common with these trucks, I recommend everyone read the Cybertruck Owners Forum.
