The difference is the rate of heat transfer and ability to react. When you open up a car that’s hot inside, it’s not an immediate danger. If you touch a hypothetically dangerously hot Cybertruck skin, burn injuries could occur in less than a second of contact. If Cybertruck doesn’t have enough passive heat dissipation to ensure safety then I believe Tesla will design a workaround.
I thought the stated solution to this was that the CT doors would just open when you came near them - no touch required.
I saw someone posted this on an anti-Tesla/EV group on FB and thought it was pretty funny. Engineered Explained once said that if we were all transitioning from EVs to ICE, people would burn the city down in protest.
"Q: I'm thinking of replacing my electric car with a fossil fuel car and have some questions?
1. I have heard that petrol cars cannot refuel at home while you sleep? How often do you have to refill elsewhere? Will there be a solution for refuelling at home?
2. Which parts will I need to service and how often? The car salesman mentioned oil in the engine and timing belts that need replacing and a box with gears in it. What is this? How much will this service oil change cost and how often – and what happens to the old oil. Also apparently these petrol type cars generally stop on the brakes alone – so the brakes wear out much faster – how long will they last compared to my current car which lasts over 100k kilometres
3. In a petrol or diesel car, do I get fuel back when I slow down or drive downhill?
4. The car I test drove seemed to have a delay from the time I pressed the accelerator pedal until it began to accelerate. Is that normal in petrol cars?
5. We currently pay about 1.2p per mile to drive our electric car. I have heard that petrol can cost up to 8 times as much. Is this true?
6. Is it true that petrol is flammable?
7. I understand that the main ingredient in petrol is oil. Is it true that the extraction and refining of oil causes environmental problems as well as conflicts and major wars that over the last 100 years have cost millions of lives? Is there a solution?
8. I have also been told that you have to transport oil all over the world to turn into petrol or diesel, and these ships have in the past damaged the environment by leaking the oil, is that true?
9. I have heard that cars with internal combustion engines are being banned to enter more and more cities around the world, as it is claimed that they tend to harm the environment and health of their citizens? Is that true?
10. I have been told that these internal combustion engines make a noise when you start them – so early starts can wake people up, and driving a lot of internal combustion engine cars in towns makes towns noisy.
11. is it true people can steal the fuel from your tank
12. what is the drop in range in cold weather, I've been told a car that does 45mpg can drop to 37 mpg in winter – just curious on that one.
13. a friend told me that the exhausts wear out – is that true, and people steal them for the rare material used in them?
14. I was also told – that the exhaust gas isn’t good for you – and if you leave the car running in a confined space – like a garage – you will die – surely that isn’t true is it?
15. next door told me – these petrol cars – carry around 40 to 60 litres of highly flammable liquid which is pumped into a steel cylinder, and it’s then exploded to generate expanding gas to move a piston, and turn linear motion into rotary motion.
Why would anyone want thousands of explosions happening within a few feet of where your sitting.
16. a guy at work told me – he has a petrol car, and it leaks oil. When he parks it – surely that’s not right is it – leaving dirty marks on the floor and contaminating the environment so directly. How long before this happens if I change.
17. my dad told me – if you buy a diesel car – the hand pump smells very bad, and you have to wear special gloves to stop your hand smelling, and if you spill it on your clothes it terrible.
18. is it true – the petrol and diesel is so dangerous, that you can only buy the fuel at a special filling station, and not anywhere (hotels/Car parks/Home/Work)?
19. while technology is advancing, will I ever be able to refuel my internal combustion car for free using only the sun ?
20. would I be better off going straight to horse and cart, and not buying a horseless carriage – they sound pretty awful, burning dinosaur juice and polluting the environment whilst funding conflict and war and consuming raw material at an unbelievably high rate.
It's time for Tesla to buy a better ESG rating. We're all in this together.

Maybe Norwegians don’t prize *individuality* (being different, being unique, standing out in a crowd) the same way Americans do?
That would help but design needs to accommodate all cases including accidental contact. Toddlers, inadvertent leaning, tripping into the wall, etc.
That I don’t know, and stainless steel has low thermal conductivity compared to other metals anyway. I’m just addressing the concern about the exterior possibly getting too hot. Either it isn’t a problem in the first place or Tesla designed a workaround.
Not all ESG funds are equal. I own some ESGV, which is a Vanguard fund that seeks to track the performance of the FTSE US All Cap Choice Index. Here are it's top 8 holdings:It's time for Tesla to buy a better ESG rating. We're all in this together.

1 banks will get more bailouts from money created from nothing. Inflation is a problem to be pushed upon the poor. (I don't agree with this sentiment; it is how I see govt behave) I think much of the push to return to commuting to an office is to generate more sales of gasoline, work clothes, and eating out for lunch, and help keep commercial real estate from collapsing.
Is there any evidence that bare SS would be hotter than black paint? My experience tells me black would be the hottest surface and black cars are commonplace. This subject should die...
That's not what happened, there was a rational discussion about it, at least for some of us.

One should separate “ESG” from “ESG ratings” much as one would separate “credit worthiness” from “credit rating agencies ratings of credit worthiness” (see S&P/Moodys r.e. TSLA, for example).
