I can. Look at that weird VR thing Facebook tried. No one says no to these people the result is they just go with any sci-fi movie they liked.
Comment on Even the Tesla Cybertruck's Brake Lights Don't Make Sense
jve@lemmy.world 8 months agoFrom the article
The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards regulate taillight design, mandating minimum area, placement, quantity, and visibility according to vehicle category, dimensions, and weight. However, the FMVSS does not appear to prohibit deactivating taillights during braking, so the Cybertruck’s taillights as seen here seem to be legal—even if they are perplexing, and potentially dangerous.
I still can barely believe this thing is real, and not something out of a bad 90s movie where video game characters come into the real world.

I was more meaning in a wider sense. A car manufacturer who can’t sell their cars outside the US is shooting themselves in the foot.

They usually have separate models, a standard one for the whole world and a cut down version to save cost for the US

It’s not “common” at all for US cars to have a lesser model. I can think of 1 popular midweek off the top of my head.

No it is pretty common, especially when it comes to safety features.
The EU has stricter requirements especially stuff like lights, and you see European models often fitted with extra lights to comply with the regulations.
