When you buy a new vehicle, you can think of a few things to expect like that new car smell or the excitement of peeling off all the plastic coverings. Never would you find yourself bleeding so badly that you have to head to the emergency room, but that's the case for one owner.

Owner Gets a Deep Cut from the Cybertruck's Edges
One of the things that make the Cybertruck unique is its prismatic form, having sharp edges instead of rounded ones. Owners certainly don't think that level of sharpness can be dangerous to the point that getting cut would make you bleed profusely.
On the Cybertruck Owners Club site, a user shared his experience after his vehicle was finally ready to be picked up, and there were already a lot of red flags before he even cut himself on the wrist which led him to a trip to the hospital.
The owner who went by bdesign said that the vehicle was in "sloppy condition at delivery," pointing out that the windshield was dirty, there were already rust spots in the hood, and that the rubber seal on the driver's side of the tonneau cover was loose, as per Gizmodo.
The body panels were messier than the owner would like, which he described as "splattery overspray on them that doesn't wipe off." After noticing that there was a little pit or divet on the tailgate, the new owner tried to rub the spot with his thumb to clean it out.
That's when he recoiled from the sudden pain, and the employees even joked that the spot can be dangerous. The new Cybertruck owner then noticed that he was bleeding. The employees panicked and tried to stop the bleeding from his arm.
After a few hours, the new owner tried to remove the bandage since it had appeared to stop bleeding, only for it to open back up and his blood started dripping out again. He had nothing left to do but head to the emergency room to get the cut sorted out.
For a car that would cost buyers $100,000, the least they can get is to not be cut open by the vehicle, but it seems that's too much to ask from Tesla as well. What's bothersome is that it hasn't even been a year and already, several owners have reported unique issues of their own.

Cybertruck's Other Problems
Another buyer who had just gotten their truck found that the vehicle was leaking coolant after only driving it for 35 miles. It only started leaking when the car was already parked, so hitting something on the road accidentally was ruled out.
Posted on X by the user who goes by @JonesJason24, he said he called Tesla service about the issue and was told that Tesla did not cover coolant leaks. The company did end up sending a tow truck and he got the vehicle back the day after.
The customer praised the service of the Tesla Pensacola service center, saying that they detailed the truck before it was delivered. The thing is that the coolant leak should not have happened in the first place, not to mention that the owner said the car was dirty when it was picked up the first time around.
