Cybercab Shortens Its Door Swing to Avoid a Fence

📍 TeslaNorth

A Tesla Cybercab in Austin opened its passenger-side door only partway while parked beside a fence, while the street-side door swung fully open. Tesla owner and YouTuber Dirty Tesla posted the photo on Thursday and a video on Saturday, which he says shows the car limits the door swing on its own. He explained on X that the door only opens automatically for the first person who walks up. Neither Tesla nor the @robotaxi account has commented on the posts, and the company has not said which sensors the doors use to measure clearance or whether this behavior is new.…

🔎 Why it matters: The Cybercab has no steering wheel or pedals, so a door that clips a fence or another car has no driver to watch for it. The claim that the car limits the door on its own comes from the owner, with no official confirmation from Tesla.
📈 Upside: According to the owner, the fence-side door stops at a shallow angle to avoid contact with the fence.
📉 Risk: Tesla has not explained which sensors it uses or whether this behavior is new, so the reliability of the door control remains unverified.
