A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well. The frunk update worked well on produce, but crushed his finger and left it shaking with a dent.

You know the brand has failed hard when a fucking GM brand makes a nicer EV.
Once they sorted out the battery pack fires, the Volts and Bolts were solid cars if a little less high tech than some of their competitors.
Unfortunately, GM has since killed all their non suv passenger vehicles aside from the non-hybrid Malibu.
Chevy Bolt EVs are not really SUVs. They're sort of a modernized EV variant of the "Spark" and "Sonic" subcompact/hatchback.
They're fairly small especially compared to "SUVs" out in the world - 163" x 70" x 63" tall vs a Rav4 which is 182" x 73" by 69" tall. Almost two feet shorter in length and marginally shorter W/H than a midsize SUV.
Vs the Spark which was 143" x 63" x 59".
Confusingly there is also a Bolt "EUV" which is marginally larger.
I own a Spark and wish they made an EV this size. It's a great little car for around town, and I'm a big person. The Bolt EV seems like it could be a decent option in terms of size/ease, but I haven't done the research on quality to say that definitively.
The Bolt isn't listed for sale anywhere on their website unless you specifically google to find one, and production seems to have ended at the end of last year.
GMs announcement of a new gen bolt came out last year, and the best guess is that we won't see one until model year 2026 at the absolute soonest.
If they see good sales on their larger, higher margin electric SUVs, I wouldn't be surprised if the new bolt is quietly axed before it hits the road.
Oh bummer I didn't know that about the availability.
I also share your sentiments and expect GM will just pivot to bigger cars
Unfortunately.
I really wanted a Bolt EUV and then they announced they were killing it and that dashed that thought
