Minor, but maybe having an 8 foot long windscreen could be an issue
What is this
These bozos are gonna remove the side mirrors from it lmao?
Just...so much hilarity, from dumb car bro shit like removing mirrors to shit build quality issues
This truck definitely has been designed around the comfort of the driver and passengers.
In that thread I clicked a random avatar to see what comments the guy made. I assume they're nearly all (if not all) guys. There's no simp like an Elon Simp.
Translating that phrasing into reality - I bet he actually thinks the front seats are serviceable and the rear seats are uncomfortable.
Glancing thru that thread reminded me, this nightmare hasn't been certified or even crash tested by the NHTSA
It also weighs 6,600 pounds, where a comparable truck like the F150 weighs around 4,500-5,500 depending on options
So...
Serious question - how the fuck can that happen? Does Elon simply bribe people at the NHTSA, etc? I just don't get it.
Apparently it...doesn't have to?
Oh boy. So I would expect it will eventually? Maybe?
How convenient for companies that do that volume. The customer is at an auto show and he says "I dunno about this convertible. No roll bars. No safety cage..." and the lying grifter-salesman says "Oh, it's safe. It's very, very safe. I own one." And he'd never even get in one because he knows it's a deathtrap and it's never been tested.
My hunch is that it won't be tested until there's a (horrible) death and the lack of testing becomes a scandal. Then the media will breathlessly say to it's audience "Most of the vehicles without NHTSA ratings are low-volume models. But we were surprised to learn that some other vehicles aren't tested either. Who knew?" You! You're supposed to know! You're supposed to learn about this sort of shit and report on it before deaths and maiming. It's your fucking job. Stop following Trump around 24/7 and covering Biden's brainfarts and do your actual fucking jobs!
I like the guy who tinted his windshield from top to bottom and was like "looks great." Then he posts a picture that looks like someone made a PS1 game out of a 3 year old's drawing of a car.
