How did the cyber truck pass safety regulations? Jesus Christ

Can't fail the test if it doesn't get tested in the first place.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 57 points 2 years ago

How can you be allowed to put a car on the roads that hasn't been tested? That's mad

737 Max was the same thing, and we all know how that went. One of the side effects of the hollowing out of the public sector under neo-liberalism that results in "self-regulation".

[-] Des@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

our company does it's own health inspections. you can guess how that goes down

never seen federal in my entire career and only see the state guy once every few years and hes bought off

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

The one time I saw a federal regulator at my last job, I was coached for literally a week on exactly what to tell him by management. Day of, I just ignored them and pointed out all the obvious safety issues once we were in the private meeting. No advisories were given based off of my advice anyway. :yea:

my only directive when i was a manager and a usda guy came in was to immediately run to get the manager on duty and basically flee the scene lol minimize who contacts them.

probalbly for reasons like what you did! because i would have brought some stuff up too

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

we had USDA inspectors at the pork plant I worked at for a few months... they were required to make the rounds every shift

i only ever saw them maybe a handful of times and each time they didn't actually walk through the packaging dept to inspect anything.. they just came, checked all the boxes on the sheets hanging on the wall at the entrance/exit, and disappeared again

Critical support tbh I say make the cyber truck more dangerous

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

only if it's more dangerous to shitlibs and other brainworm-addled folks

this thing is gonna kill a LOT of kids though

I looked at this at the time; they only test vehicles they want to, essentially. They don't HAVE to test anything, and they frequently don't test low production cars, sports cars, exotics, etc

I imagine at some point they will test the bazingamobile, but only because of how high profile it is and how frequent things like this will be

Fucking insane that it's not mandated for a car to be allowed to be produced. God fucking damnit I hate car brains!!!

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Ngl I assumed crash safety testing would be mandatory, I'm surprised it isn't

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 years ago

motherfuckers know its bad

[-] HeavenAndEarth@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

God damn I live in a fake country ๐Ÿ˜–

[-] TheDialectic@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

How are they even allowed to sell it? What the fuck is the point then?

Look what I'm whippin' now

[-] booty@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

There basically are no safety regulations

If it's got a mirror and a seatbelt it's good to go

[-] TheDialectic@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They probably pass the exact wording of the test in ways that don't actually help anything during an accident.
