      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.
