I guess the claim here is that European Teslas lack some safety sensors found on the US variant. I can’t verify that as fact, but their testing methods are interesting.

Definitely  don’t try this at home.

It’s not just Europeans Teslas. Ever since a recent update, all of the Xs have been doing this. The sensors are there, but they don’t seem to be... Whatever the hell they were before.

Out of curiosity, would other cars with automatic doors not crush these sausages?

They should just replace the motors with a strap like in the DeLorean. Close it your damn self.

All the cars do actually have the sensors to prevent this. Tesla turned them off because they were making the door act strange.

I would say, “Yes.”

Jeez. My hope is that the motors aren’t strong enough to crush you if you actually push back, unlike the sausages, but I wouldn’t want to be the one to test it. Seems kinda dangerous for kids, though. Hopefully they are able to get a fix patched in soon.

Moral of the story? Don’t put your sausage in the way of the door. It might hurt.
