Regarding the lack of crumple zones, what regulations on passenger safety exist in the US that would apply to the Cybertruck? My understanding is that because it's classified as a light truck that not all rules apply to it. But if there are any passenger safety rules left that it has to meet, shouldn't there be information available by now on how the passengers inside would fare in case of a crash?
I’m not sure how it relates to passenger safety regulations, but it is true that in the US there is a lower set of fuel efficiency and safety requirements for light trucks.
And SUVs are classified as light trucks, hence the push by manufacturers for people to buy SUVs.
It likely won’t meet European safety standards so there’s a whole market it will just miss. But maybe it’s too big to be practical in European cities anyway.
>Do you think they've forgotten safety for the cybertruck?
Didn't Musk literally say "and if you're ever in an argument with another car, you will win" at an event, emphasising how the Cybertruck is terribly unsafe for everyone else on the road?
Because European do not only test the vehicle crashing by itself, but vehicle crashing into other vehicles (frontal crash and side crash), and vehicle crashing into pedestrians/bikes.
No. Well, depends on the vehicle, but you cannot import US trucks from the US in Europe, they all have a EU-spec build. One of the change imposed is about edge sharpness (bull bar are removed for EU builds), and I think cybertruck is kinda fucked on that point.
