@niedermeyer.io Ed I feel a *compulsion* to inform you that the CT apparently has no side impact intrusion protection. It's like a time traveler from 1965
I was always under the impression that there were safety standards that no automobile manufacturer could circumvent? At this point, I think the CT will kill Ralph Nader just by existing.
There are but iirc the CT is upweighted enough that a lot of them get turned off. It's not actually *required* for a class 3 truck to have anything more than seatbelts and good enough brakes to stop itself quickly. It's supposed to be a fleet utility vehicle class so it's regulated as such
Most medium-duty class 3 trucks sold to consumers have the same safety features as class 1 and 2 vehicles because it's just sensible, Ford doesn't want to get a reputation for killing their customers even if they aren't legally required not to. Cue Tesla
Wondering why Cybertrucks are allowed on the road? Because this is literally how auto safety regulations works in the US. Every vehicle is assumed compliant until proven otherwise by underpaid bureaucrats, at public expense
