Son of ex-Warriors star recounts Cybertruck malfunction before crash

Can't imagine buying this dumpster fire of a vehicle at all, let alone for a teenager to drive.

> He noticed a few things were off with the Cybertruck A few? And only after the crash?! Dude bought a CT so there was probably some major brain-damage prior to the accident.

Fairly certain these death traps are not allowed on roads in other countries, no? But of course here, you know...

"I still love the truck though"

Hey, he's a kid. Obviously, not his vehicle. And he would have got his learners permit, what, a year or two before the crash? Cars should be safe for any occupant, you shouldn't need to be a mechanic or an expert to safely drive one.

It’s his first car, he is allowed to. Just don’t buy another one.

An electric crematorium with 4 wheels, say your prayers before going up

He doesn't have steering control and he thinks increasing speed is a good idea?

Cybertruck doesn't comply with European safety standards, that's for Sure.

I thought I was the only one here. Dude saw multiple malfunctions and he just keeps driving on his merry way. Stop the fucking car and get it serviced.

There’s a reason after crowing about the safety of tre models x and y, He never even got the cyber truck rated for safety.

Getting out of the way of traffic is a reasonable reaction, especially if the street he was on had higher speeds. Most cars wouldn’t accelerate out of control following a loss of power steering, and it’s not likely a teen would understand that the CTs steering is drive-by-wire, much less how the failure mode would be different from any other car. Even other steer-by-wire systems (like Nissan’s) have a clutch pack that fails engaged, so mechanical control will be engaged when there’s a malfunction such as loss-of-power:

Do they? I’d expect most teen drivers to be in hand-me-downs.

Gilbert Arenas bought his kid a cybertruck.

He's an inexperienced teen who was faced with a unique situation. A more experienced driver would have reacted differently.

The other post got deleted, but his dad is Gilbert Arenas, a former 3x all-star in the NBA. His dad's total NBA earnings are $163m. Alijah was one of the best high school basketball players in the country last year. The main organization that ranks prospects had him ranked as the 7th best high school prospect in the country. He's likely going to make around $1m in NIL money next season at USC.

Shit, I read about him getting into a serious crash. In retrospect I should have assumed it was a cybershat. Athletes and the kids of athletes have that perfect combination of way too much money and a complete lack of anything resembling intelligence. They are the perfect Tesla customers

Does buying a cybertrukkk for someone else count as a murder attempt?

I dunno bro, i feel like he must of floored and lost control

Reminds me of the show UPLOAD on Amazon. Dudes self driving car was programmed to kill him.

I thought they meant the movie “Warriors” lol

Hmmmm.... should we blame the driver.... or the Tesla CEO who cuts corners on safety?

To me, it's clear that the Cybertruck has many poorly thought out aspects to its design. And it's ugly as hell.

Nor Australia.

His dad played in the nba

He was scared I think, and the car was drifting to the right. I assume his thought was "I'll speed ahead of traffic to get clear of others and then pull over." But then it got out of control from there.

Designed to prevent rescue.

Of course you think that
