    They don’t meet even the most basic crash safety standards.

    Well that’s just incorrect.

    We actually have no idea what crash safety standards they meet because Tesla hasn’t submitted them for any testing at all, and as we all know from Elon’s new BFF, if you don’t test for it, you won’t have to worry about it.

      They did publish a video of a crash test, but I think Tesla did it themselves and didn’t publish any data, just a “comparison video” with an F150 Lightning.

      It didn’t look great… A lot of people were pointing out how tiny the crumple zone is, and the stop seemed more violent than most vehicles.
