    All I see is a lot of words that say the USA fails in it’s duty of care to its citizens

      You’re fucking right, I honestly thought all cars even in the US couldn’t be sold without getting tested by NHTSA (national highway traffic safety administration), only to find that automakers themselves are allowed to test??

      So much conflict of interest. I saw my first cybertronic dumpster the other day, it really is that pointy, and I really would not want to interact with it as a pedestrian at any velocity.

      Is their an independent crash test in Germany for Porsche etc? Maybe they will test the Cyber truck.

        Considering the Cybertruck probably won’t ever be street legal in Europe, I don’t think they’ll bother.

          Yep, no way this monstrosity will ever be allowed on German streets. The TÜV (Technical Inspection Association) is pretty strict in that regard.

        You honestly think the EU would allow it if it wasn’t?

        I am not in the EU but a 5 second search leads to:

        plus dozens of other links for the other models.

        As others have said, the cyberwank fails in so many other areas it won’t even get to the crash test stage as its design is so flawed.
