You can electrify the body and wheels of a car via the charging port, the one part that consumers should be safe to assume is fully insulated against reversed wiring, surges, etc.

Unless it's faked, it's still a sign of the poor, rushed construction, for which the company is already known for before the cybertruck. That entire vehicle should've been the last red flag, but the US loves to coddle its corpos...

Maybe neutral and ground are reversed in this video, along with another fault.

From safety standpoint neither live or neutral can't ever be connected to something you can touch with your hand. Phase and neutral can both kill you equally, that's why under all current laws neutral and ground are separated.

Phase and neutral are supposed to be reversible because the current inside is alternative and flows back and forth anyway.

Has someone pulled this joke on other cars? I feel like I should have seen someone bring this up by now--how can this be the first time it's happening, unless the Cybertruck lacks some design or feature that other cars have?

Wait, this isn't a broken car, they're all death traps like this? That's even worse. A device with a metal chassis should be earthed, not connected to neutral, that's just an accident waiting to happen.

Are you trying to tell me tech.lgbt is not a reliable source of factual information?
