A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well. (www.businessinsider.com)

I've seen cases where it takes some time to the group of people in the elevator to figure out the obstruction. Because it won't even touch the object, just reopen again and again.

So no, elevators don't do that, and I assume the parent comment is sarcastic.

Thats what I was hoping, but it was presented so deadpan that theres enough countries in the world that this could theoretically be true for some of them

It's a joke about how the safety system on the car works. From another comment in this thread:

Based on what it didn't cut through, his finger should have been safe but apparently Tesla designed the thing to keep increasing the pressure if it detects resistance each time until it can close, which is absolutely baffling. I don't know of any other safety feature that turns down the safety the more it activates. The fact that it reacts to the exact same conditions differently each time should, in itself, be deeply concerning for any safety feature.
