A quick search says they do crash testing, is this bullshit?
Of course they do crash testing, you can go watch videos of it if you want. That's just a bot, or someone who knows fuck all. Their cars are always top ranked in crash saftey.
You mean like that cybertruck shit made of rusting "stainless" steel, with no crumple zone and a body that reflects the sun in other drivers eyes?
Yeah, doubt it. They aren't even legal in Europe because of safety.
Who told you that? Elmo?
Lol dude, the cybertruck is a 5 star rated vehicle.

It's the one of the safest trucks for occupants in crashes ever built.
Edit: Just to add, that they also keep updating based on results from saftey agencies. The CT initially scored a 5 for driver and 4 for front passenger, but it has been updated to now to be 5/5.
Yeah but fuck the victims this 7000lb tank crashes into right?
Cybertruck does not meet EU minimal safety standards. NHTSA is a joke.
Does not meet minimum pedestrian saftey features yes.
OP that started this was trying to say they don't even crash test their vehicles.
Top ranked for the people inside the cars. Not so safe for the people mining the material to replace cars that get totaled, etc. but most people don't give enough of a fuck to count anyone but the occupants of the car
Won't catch me dead driving a tesla but obviously they test safety in order to pass regulations lol
I mean.. if they didn't test their cars, they really must have the best engineers in the world, being able to go from just engineering plans to getting a 5 star saftey rating at all the agencies. Those engineers would be worth their weight in gold lol.
