      they got lazy, they fully adopted the electronic one, and dint want to “waste money” bringing back the old one, in thier recent and future models.

      Cars are designed up to 5 years in advance. Usually the last 2 years before production is dedicated to endurance testing.

        They’re not being expected to design a whole new car from scratch though, are they.

          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?

              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

                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.
