Same for windows. So much for "thermonuclear explosion-proof glass", Elon.
Also, the shape has horrible aerodynamics. If it had a combustion engine, they couldn't sell it in large parts of the world due to fuel efficiency.
I doubt it will get a type approval in Europe anyway, seems absolutely no consideration for pedestrian safety has been given. If this thing is as stiff and solid as Musk said it was it is also going to fail miserably during crash testing. Having been in a car crash this weekend I can testify how crumple zones save lives. Good thing the whole "but it's a light truck" loophole they used in the US isn't going to fly here.
Knowing about crumple zones makes you ask why you would even want a "stiff and solid" vehicle in the first place lmao.
So they can't sue you after the crash cuz no one survives it.
They'll probably have kamikaze mode for when it detects a crash about to happen it speeds up.
