    I never noticed this before, but does that thing explode a water bottle when the hand gets put down, like before it even falls? That seems like a dangerous amount of force/pressure to apply without any failsafes or anything.

      Not 100% sure just looking at it, but these bottles seems to be the type where the cap isn’t screwed and you just have to pull on it, so it’s possible it just popped the cap of one as it hit it.

        That’s a good observation and if you look at the table, it’s really wobbly every time it gets bumped. Typical Elon - “I want something to look fancy but I want every expense spared!!”

        If it’s that flimsy, I feel like the table would have done something more dramatic than wobble around if the bottle was burst open.

      Yeah I was noticing the same thing.

      I mean this thing is supposed to only weigh 26kg and they are saying this model weighs closer to 57kg which I think is still them lying to make it seem like they can get to that ridiculous weight.

      I work with robotics and the rule is to never be near them while they are moving cause they won’t know or care if they have to cut you in half to keep moving, I don’t think this is gonna do that but it disconnecting randomly while near a person makes this a really dangerous heavy chunk of metal and seizing motors.
