I don’t think it will have as much of an effect on the auto industry I’m afraid, the auto industry is already well used to having multiple regional models to comply with weird country quirks of their own vehicle safety boards.
Any EU mandate will just get through onto the already existing model destined for EU countries. Unless the RU writes it in such a way to force companies to abide by it in all countries even non-EU, but that would be a legal gray area for sure.

The cybertruck is already illegal here in the EU since it doesn’t comply with pedestrian safety laws.
