... and it's not even the first time that it happened to a 787.
In 2018 & 2022 (landing gear retracted/collapsed due to unintuitive manual procedure steps in order to cycle the power in certain conditions - a badly designed process prone to human error due to it's nature ... and the video might suggest the same issue happened again):

If Boeings planes make Boing!, I'm hesitant what will happen to cars made by Xpeng.
