I saw a YouTube short of someone claiming Tesla fixed the trunk door cutting people's fingers off. He demonstrated with a banana at first. It detected the banana and immediately opened the door again. It barely made a dent into the banana. So he's like imma try my finger now lol. So he tries his finger and of course that fucker clamps down hard on this mf's finger, which gets stuck for a short while before the Tesla gives up and opens the door again. But his finger had a huge and deep dent in it, bro. You could tell he was in big pain. His hand was shaking minutes after the event.

I don't know what's worse, the door, or this idiot thinking a banana is an accurate prop to use in place of a finger. I would've used something smaller than my finger. If it detected that, you would think a finger would be safe...

One other thing here is that the sensitivity of the detection is actually decreased with repeat attempts. This is pretty standard.

The reasoning here is that people will check after the first failure. And if they then send the close request again, the car will try a bit harder. Maybe it's just some bit of oversized luggage that can be pushed down.
