Disclaimer: It turns out that his wall charger was wired incorrectly, so mains voltage was wired to the ground of the vehicle, and well the chassis is the vehicle’s ground, hence the voltage. Source. Thanks @[email protected] for the correction.

How many signs are there that this vehicle is in fact not safe and should've never been certified for consumers, let alone the public roads?

We can shit on Tesla all day, but this is on whoever installed the charger. Live and neutral are reversed, this could be faked for the video or pure incompetence.

I agree otherwise, just not because of this.

Unless it's faked, it's still a sign of the poor, rushed construction, for which the company is already known for before the cybertruck. That entire vehicle should've been the last red flag, but the US loves to coddle its corpos...
