Also, I was mildly surprised to find out the Cybertruck has the most normal-rear end sounding car horn. I'm sure they just cheaped out and grabbed whatever was on the shelf, but I would've guessed Elon would've gone for something gimmicky/bigger and m a n l i e r sounding.

How did the truck “miss” its loading dock when the video game truck was parked in it?

There should be like 3 feet of space between individual dock doors, and based on that trailer I'm guessing it's a long haul driver and they 1) tend to be newer drivers and 2) drive for hundreds or thousands of miles between actually backing up into a door, so they aren't super great at it.

I work at a loading dock and the drivers who work locally and back in and out of the doors a half dozen times a day are really good at it and can just back straight in, but then I'll get a driver coming to Seattle from Kansas and I've seen them take over half an hour to get correctly lined up. Based on the photo his cybertruck is perfectly aligned for the dock door and there's likely another one three feet over and the large trailer is massively misaligned.

It extracts pollutants from the exhaust as it passes through. That means it’s constantly full of combustion products straight from the cylinder, which are very hot

It converts one type of pollutant to a different type of pollutant using precious metals and exhaust gases are hot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_converter

I learned about that happening back when I used to go storm chasing pretty regularly, we were parked off the side of the road with the engine on, and we (fortunately) noticed the dry weeds starting to smolder down there. I'm kinda surprised there aren't more fires from stuff like that - part of why I mostly stopped chasing was the absurd number of people going out for any decent event, I would've expected it to happen more often with the crowds that turn the shoulders into parking lots on busy days.

It doesn’t exactly extract them. It burns them. It has to be warm to do this, and then it produces its own heat.

In addition to what other posters said, it's one of the very first parts of the exhaust system downstream of the engine, so it's where the exiting exhaust is at its absolute hottest. Way hotter than the muffler and tailpipes at the very downstream end.

"Hard R" can also be a colloquial term for a movie that is decidedly rated R by the MPAA in the US, as opposed to one that is fairly close to a PG-13.

I don't know if a Korean studio would be aware enough of that to intentionally reference it.
