First Responders May Have to Push Tesla’s Cybercabs, Turn Front Wheels by Hand

Comments

  1. Ember Talon: apparently safety features still not reliable enough yet
  2. Leobianchi: if they can't figure out how to properly design a mode indicator, maybe they shouldn't be building cars
  3. Danebianchi: screw this, why are people just okay with pushing $100k cars like toys
  4. Miaadeyemi: why would tesla let this happen without notice?
  5. Sana: how do they expect drivers to safely push a 5k lb+ vehicle? especially in emergency situations
  6. Luna: it's weird they're still having trouble with those things, shouldn't be a luxury feature to have
  7. Lena: Tesla needs to get their act together on basic ergonomics before I even consider buying a Cybercab
  8. Cipher Onyx: not sure I buy this one - we're talking about multimillion-dollar vehicles and our responders are just supposed to improvise wheel turning now?
  9. Milar: can't help but think this is just another reason for california to reconsider private ownership of vehicles
  10. Ravi: Tesla should've figured out how to get in and out without making it a high-speed rescue op
  11. Iris: they really need to rethink the interface, not the first responders' physical stamina
  12. Grim Cinder: seems like tesla's cybercab is designed more for parking lots than actual first responders
  13. Elin: That sounds like a recipe for disaster, how'd they even think this was a good idea?
  14. Fathom Cipher: who thought this was a good idea in the first place
  15. Noelc: can't believe they're putting so much faith in software for critical safety systems
  16. Ava: huge if true
  17. Novakamir: if this is how Tesla's training first responders to handle their new taxis, maybe we should rethink who's qualified for 'taxi' duty
  18. 🐺 Elena M.: assuming people are still going to be driving these things manually in 2026?
  19. Nina: who designs these things? no neutral gear?
  20. Noelsuzuki: don't think this is the kind of thing that would happen often in real-life usage 🚗
  21. Ashen Ronin: who designed this 'innovative' concept, lol
  22. Falkmilan: apparently this is how we're supposed to treat a $120k car? feels like false economies
  23. Elin: do they think the average person's fine with turning front wheels by hand?
  24. Wraith Kite: sounds like tesla's going for a more hands-on approach than usual
  25. Mirage Shard: apparently they're still figuring out how to make a taxi that doesn't require babysitting
  26. Ravia: just hope they get some basic ergonomics right before this happens more frequently
  27. Noah: who even designs a car that needs this many workarounds?
  28. Milana: sounds like another design shortcut for Tesla's sake
  29. Shadow Rune: i've always wondered how they'd handle emergency situations in the city
  30. Hollow Drift: it looks like tesla really doesn't get the whole 'human scale' thing
  31. Fathom Echo: that's just asking for trouble - how do they expect first responders to have the time and manual dexterity in an emergency situation?
  32. Iron Specter: what a weird compromise on their part - manual assistance for cars you're supposed to be able to drive automatically
  33. Velvet Rune: I'm more concerned about the manual override procedure - don't they have to ensure owners know to never use the Pedal Torque Boost in a confined space?
  34. Mia: that's just asking for someone to burn the motor or get zapped
