After several reports that the Cybertruck's hood closing force may need adjustment to better detect interfering objects, Tesla has released a software update to address this issue. But reviews from owners indicate that the function allegedly does not work as it should again. Are they right? Are they right?
Previously, the Cybertruck's hood could squeeze out your fingers if you held them in the appropriate place while closing. Top Gear's recent review of the Cybertruck Basecamp accessories showed off how the Cybertruck's gear works after the new update. In the so-called banana test, the hood detected the presence of an object and immediately bounced back.
People, however, began to test the mechanism in several successive attempts using carrots, bananas, and, well, fingers. In these tests, the Cybertruck performed much like it did before the update: crushing a finger, crushing a banana, and cutting up a carrot. Cybertruck's lead engineer had to step in and explain why the lid behaved the way it did.
“Pinch detection is a learning algorithm, it will increase the closing force every time it returns without successfully closing. … The algorithm assumes that if you repeatedly try to close the hood, it's because you, as a person, know better and think it should close,” says Wes Morrill.
Ever since I was told the Tesla Cybertruck had an ALGORITHM for the automatic frunk, I have been super intrigued.
It will apply increased closing force after every failed attempt. This means if you close you finger in it once, it shouldn’t hurt TOO bad, but try it 5 times in a… pic.twitter.com/uSax1zpdtn

Knowing this feature can prevent sudden pinching. However, this is not very intuitive and it is not surprising that someone may not realize the effect of several attempts in a row.
