Let's hope they don't bring that shit to Europe.

There's absolutely no way they'd get that thing homologated here.

You know that there will be these guys who go through hoops and burn money to somehow import them.

[-] Enkrod@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago

They can import them as much as they want (though I'd rather they didn't), without street certification they'll be able to drive it on private property, but not on our streets.

You're correct and next car I'll buy will be a Russian tank.

Might want a Western one, I've heard the Russian ones like to explode and toss their turret when hut by a Cybertruck.

Does USA not have mandatory safety tests for vehicles?

[-] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

we just let the manufacturers run them themselves and tell us if they think it meets standards.

that have been caught lying numerous times before, yet nothing has changed.
