        Is this the dipstick that tried it with a carrot, it cut the tip off and then said he was going to try it with his finger to be sure?

          I don’t see “dipstick” in the wild very often, but I always appreciate it. Are you English by any chance?

            I am not. I had a vulgar word there, and decided to tone it down a little.

      He did demonstrate it that way, specifically with a carrot. And it somewhat worked. The problem is they programmed it to do more and more pressure every time it fails meaning that doing the carrot first actually caused a safety issue. He only moved onto his finger because the safety feature seemed to be working.

        The engineer told him the frunk increases in pressure every single time it closes and detects resistance, Judkins said. It’s going to assume you want to close the frunk and maybe something like a bag is getting in the way, which would make it close harder.

        Geniuses.

          Because I am the bag commander. If I want the bag to fit, and it doesn’t fit, I’d better crush it!

        No, it has to be something bigger than the panel gap
