Is this vehicle even street legal? no crumple zones?


From Isaacson's recent biography:

> At one point, Isaacson describes Musk becoming enraged when, working on the Tesla Model S, he finds a government-mandated warning about child airbag safety on the passenger-side visor. “Get rid of them,” he demands. “People aren’t stupid. These stickers are stupid.” Tesla faces recall notices because of the change, Isaacson reports, but Musk “didn’t back down.”

This company and the person leading it doesn't care about safety, and likely even about rule of law.

According to what objective standard? Can you qualify your claim as I have?


The article from Euro NCAP discusses the strong safety debut of Asian newcomers in the automobile market, but highlights that the Tesla Model Y stands out in terms of safety. Tesla vehicles are noted for their considerable weight and low center of gravity, attributes that make them difficult to roll over. Additionally, these cars are equipped with numerous built-in safety features and warnings. Another key aspect of Tesla's safety is their relatively recent design, which incorporates modern safety standards and technologies. Given these points, it raises the question: what are the reasons to doubt the safety of Tesla cars?
