Tech bros that don’t know anything about cars and safety regulations, invent steel death traps.
“Newton? More like knewnothing, now watch this crash test” - Techbros, probably.
Oh, it also has no airbags.
Musk already does a lot of illegal things, and he just pays the fines if there are any.
How tf is that thing supposed to be legal? No side mirrors, no crumple zones, does it even have airbags? And I’m pretty sure those things are mandated in modern cars!
They might be angling for some kind of “recreational vehicle” classification, which would be hilarious because it would mean you can’t drive your cybertruck on a highway.
IIRC pickups are classified as “light trucks” and lots of safety stuff is optional. Of course, most manufacturers try to make them as safe as normal SUVs anyway.
they will be sold with the mirrors like the one that was shown recently as it is kinda of a legal thing that a car must be sold with the side mirrors, but they are removable, so you take away all the responsability of the company and makes it into individual responsability, now it is your fault if you ever want to do it as elon intended
It seems like they neglected to hire anyone who works in compliance… or has ever designed a car.
pretty sure it was reported that everyone who worked on compliance was fired/quit from twitter lol
Hired? Elon probably told some elementary school kid to ‘draw a car’ and then decide to go with that
It doesn’t have airbags, no.
Not that it matters though. It will literally never be a consumer production car. It’s a higher end version of the dancing guy in a robot suit.
Cars in the stricter EU markets are being sold without side mirrors and use cameras instead ve cause it improves fuel efficiency and makes cars like the Honda-e easier to park in dense urban environments.
I hope everyone who buys one of these N64 ass things tries to cross a river and drowns.
