    How are there so many things wrong with this vehicle? Like a total recall for the accelerator pedal sounds like the least of their concerns when the car can be bricked by a reboot and the exterior isn’t allowed to have bird shit on it unless it’s removed immediately.

    I mean, I know why. But how? Aren’t vehicles massively regulated? How did any of these make it off the production line?

        Even if it were, it weighs 3,4 tons empty. Most EU Citizens have drivers licenses that allow cars up to 3,5 tons max. weight, including driver, passengers and cargo.

        It’s impossible to use in the EU without an actual truck driving license.

      Vehicle regulations are typically only for emission standards or exhaust loudness. For the most part as long as the vehicle can do the speed limit there’s very little regulation on the matter.

        You’re forgetting the annual safety inspection required in most US states. That’ll catch stuff like brakes wearing out, taillights and headlights that need to be replaced, and other stuff.
