We now have a full year of data for the Cybertruck, and a strange preponderance of headlines about Cybertrucks exploding into flames, including several fatalities. That’s more than enough data to compare to the Ford Pinto, a car so notoriously combustible that it has become a watchword for corporate greed. Let’s start with the data […]
TL;DR: The CyberTruck is 17 times more likely to have a fire fatality than a Ford Pinto.
That incident is so still super weird to me. The dude was supposedly an ordnance expert but his plan revolved around what I can only describe as cartoon logic- “fireworks and electric car batteries exolode, so I’ll mix the two together to make a super explosion !” My initial thought was he wanted the spectacle more than actually harming people but his writings seemed to contradict that. Maybe he just went off the deep end and was living in a delusion but anyone who knows anything about how explosions work could have told you that his plan had essentially zero chance of working as intended. If he were just a normal guy that would be one thing but again he was supposedly an active duty ordnance expert. I don’t think there’s any kind of conspiracy or anything I just don’t understand what happened.

he literally asked Chatgpt what to do and followed its instructions
But again, someone who is supposedly an ordnance expert would know that CharGPT was using cartoon logic.
