Tesla’s troubled electric pickup is illegal in Europe, yet somehow a barely modified model has found a way to get licensed. A group of European transport organizations claim this ride could spell disaster.
This comment is pure Whataboutism. You asked what was wrong with the F150’s and you got answered. And your response is, “well, the european ones are probably gonna do it too!”
C’mon man.
Regardless of who’s doing it, it still sucks and is bad.
I know a lot of people thought i was defending the F150s - i wasn’t, just asking - and i never said i liked them.
I don’t, i think new pick-up trucks are ridiculous and the artificial enlargement is equally ridiculous and dangerous. Yet they sell in the EU, don’t they?
The enlargement trend isn’t exclusive to pick-up trucks and has long since been adopted by SUVs. The BMW X6 is sold in the EU.
Even the fucking Hummer is sold in the EU! That should not be road legal.
So the takeaway is that ruling bodies don’t really care about pedestrians, but that’s a known fact, so going after a particular model because it’s cool to do so is just dumbshit hive mentality, be it the cybertruck or another vehicle. Then again, someone else in the comments got downvoted as well for condemning vandalism so… typicial redditlemmy i guess.
Well true, but have you looked at european SUVs lately? They’re getting there and i don’t see the EU doing anything to limit dimensions.
