UK: Cybertruck driver pulled over, vehicle seized over safety concerns: 'An over-6,000-pound piece of steel' 3/28/25

"...Though the Cybertruck recently got a high safety standard rating in the United States, the U.K. has more stringent safety standards for cars, and the Cybertruck falls short on many of these.

The first area where it fails is its size. With a massive weight of 6,898 pounds (or nearly 3 tons) and a width of 7.2 feet, the vehicle is too heavy and wide to drive safely on British roadways.... "

I casually mentioned to the electrician doing the circuit breaker box move in my home that the California code requiring smoke detectors in each bedroom in my small house seemed like overkill, and he launched into an impassioned speech as to why they’re so important and how they save lives.

Good morning.

Back in the early 1960s, at the Naval Base in Yokosuka, Japan, there was a park near the seawall that held a special place in our hearts. The centerpiece of the park was the remains of an old airplane, with a slide extending from the back. We affectionately nicknamed it "The Seaplane" and spent countless hours there, letting our imaginations soar. Of course, this makeshift jungle gym would never meet today’s safety standards—sharp edges and all. Yet, despite the potential hazards, we all managed to walk away with just stories to tell and memories to cherish. Remarkably, children would venture to the park on their own, drawn to the charm of The Seaplane by the seawall. It was a different era, full of adventure and freedom.

This does not surprise me. Poor battery quality seems to plague e-bikes with after market kits (and others). BUT there is a failure in relation of the sellers - Amazon and Ebay sell this risky shit all the time with no come back. Maybe they should be forced to take responsibility - and that includes criminal liability.

Just to be clear, the life-endangering failings of the Tesla is 100% Elon's fault. He hired the best AV engineers in the world, gave them all the money they needed & then told them "No LIDAR".

#Tesla is a perfect example of what happens when you get people who think they know #technology and #engineering but don't really care about public #safety and don't know anything about building cars safely and responsibly to build cars and sell them to people with too much money and too little intelligence and wisdom.

There is a very good reason why large #corporations tend to be very conservative. It's a learned response to having made mistakes with people's lives.

“If that means less discretionary money for great #safety projects now, that doesn't bode well for a more holistic approach to #safety in the next surface #transportation reauthorization bill”
