Personally, I think the cybertruck is one of the ugliest vehicles I've ever seen produced and gives you a feel of intimidation every time you see one out on the road. You feel like at any moment you are going to get caught up in a scene like something out of a Mad Max movie. Yet people clamor just for an opportunity to sit in one, bragging how they got to sit in a cybertruck while posting up their selfies.
The truck is making a real name with itself of people burning up alive inside one when the locking mechanism fails after an accident, and the manual override is to concealed inside the vehicle to find to readily escape. It really doesn't come as a surprise that the deregulation industry leaders escape accountability for having these vehicles recalled until they fix the design flaws. What deregulation is going to look like moving forward is that the owner of the vehicle not the manufacture of, will face the legal liability of having occupants in their car, and should an accident occur whether or not it's their fault, because they should have known the vehicle operates out of the standards set for road worthiness. The blame will default back onto taking personal responsibility of "you should have known, you should have research before you bought or did XYZ". The information was out there, you just failed to achieve the knowledge afforded you, meanwhile the billionaires who provided the deadly products, walk free.
This is what those on the deregulation bandwagon are setting themselves up for, and eventually it could prove to be costly. When the cybertruck involved in the Las Vega event locked up, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration should have pulled the trucks off the road. Because of their failure to do so, two young people burned alive inside a cybertruck, their injuries were survivable, but they were unable to locate the manual door release, and a passerby who stopped to help, couldn't get the door open from the outside either. The driver of the car survived because a friend following them, managed to knock out a window after striking it numerous times and pulling him out right before the car exploded into flames. They did test positive for intoxicants in their systems but the parents suing said they still should have been able to escape after surviving the crash. The parents should have gone after the NHTSA also, but what happens in the deregulated future when the only person to go after is the person who bought the vehicle itself, when that happens, does the owner who the fault defaulted back onto, try pass that default upon the passengers themselves, saying they should also have known before deciding to get in the vehicle that it didn't stand up to road standards. This could possibly become the future in a deregulated world.
I surely have no interest in that monstrosity!
If you change your mind, just be sure to keep your windows cracked and have a fire extinguisher within reach at all times. Some sort of facial covering may not be a bad idea either.
Indeed, but... I will not be changing My mind about THAT! LOL!
I hear you.
