Another day, another report of a NJ Tesla abruptly leaving the road and killing its occupants.

David Dryerman, 54, of Woodcliff Lake, was heading north in a Tesla Model S when the vehicle ran off the road to the left, struck a sign, struck a guardrail and a concrete bridge support just before midnight at milepost 131.1 in Woodbridge, New Jersey State Police Sgt. Charles Marchan said. As a result of the crash, David Dryerman, occupant Michele Dryerman, a 54-year-old woman, and a 17-year-old juvenile girl, all from Woodcliff Lake, died. Sources tell Daily Voice that the two adults were parents and teen was their daughter. The couple also has a son, whose age wasn’t immediately known.

Their son survived because he was not in the Tesla at the time. Note the other similar recent Tesla crashes in NJ if you are looking for reasons why nobody should be driving in or around them on public roads anymore.

A year ago people were wondering out loud if Tesla would design a Cybertruck to run electrical current to the body.

Would it be possible to electrify the exterior of the cybertruck if there was a possibility of physical harm to the passengers in the truck?

If you squint your eyes hard enough you might read this grammar as someone asking if they can electrocute emergency responders who try to rescue passengers from a crashed Cybertruck.

Nevermind that, however, because an actual owner boasted that when his vehicle became improperly electrified, the Cybertruck automatically went into “hibernation”.

If current is detected anywhere it’s not supposed to be (e.g., your battery has a loose wire and is discharging onto the doors, posing an electrocution risk), the high-voltage system hibernates to avoid injury. And that’s exactly what my truck did. […] Before anyone gets the wrong idea — what’s happening with my truck is not necessarily something that went wrong…. There are too many variables to identify exactly what happened on my truck and where, but we know one thing: it’s working as designed.

Leave it to a Tesla owner to say that a brand new vehicle completely unusable and an electrocution hazard is “working as designed”.

This goes beyond the emperor has no clothes into the emperor likes being humiliated, with electroshocks.

Now cue the latest update to this design feature debate: an Idaho farmer, famous for his Cybertruck purchase in an attention-grabbing scheme, is now happy to be reporting that 120V flows through the vehicle body (even the wheel lug nuts) after he plugs in a charging cable.

While it might appear that Smith set out to debunk critiques, he just wanted to grow his TikTok account. “It was something unique that people hadn’t seen and something that I felt would get good engagement, and it did,” Smith said.

Yeah, getting electrocuted by touching a car is very, very unique to Tesla. No hibernating in this case. And the owner seems to enjoy demonstrating the unnecessary dangers a little too much, like he’s sticking a fork in live outlet to get a laugh.

Finally someone found something positive about the Cybertruck.

But seriously, this attention-seeking potato farmer released a follow-up video where he assures the audience his problem is real… but only with the charging cable, not the Cybertruck. It’s hard to believe his distinction at face value given there’s an obvious emphasis in his first video of the truck electrifying its body simply by being plugged in. The purpose of real safety designs, such as common and inexpensive ground fault interrupters, is to prevent the risk of electrocution regardless of the condition of a cable.

The news reports a DUI charge, yet leaves out whether the driver was also using FSD because drunk.

Preliminary information indicates that the alleged driver who was under the influence crashed their Tesla into another vehicle just before 12:30 a.m. Saturday. The Los Angeles Police Department later confirmed that the Tesla driver ran a red light while going north on Olympic Boulevard near Georgia Street and crashed into an SUV.

The crash also impacted a nearby food truck and the people standing in front.

As I’ve said before, when dealers and service centers are the ones unable to prevent destroying a particular car, that thing probably isn’t safe to own by anybody.

A fire destroyed multiple Tesla cars at a service center in Miramar early Friday morning, and investigators are now considering the possibility of arson. The fire broke out around 2:30 a.m. at the Tesla facility on Trade Place, authorities said.

But more to the point, Tesla fire incidents are a norm for the sinking brand. It’s rare in other EV companies as to barely ever make the news. Yet Tesla fires go on and on. The brand allegedly has serious battery design safety flaws, coupled with highly incendiary comments by the CEO.
