Do you think those cheap decent EVs would pass US safety test testing?
- dalyons 2y agoYes. They pass euro and others so why not. Have you even looked?

- Freedom2 2y agoDo they pass American? As far as I'm aware, American safety standards are of the highest in the world, in part due to the amount of reckless driving here and general lack of road-sense.
- prmoustache 2y agoThe cybertruck being sold only in the USA is a proof it is quite the opposite actually.
- dalyons 2y agoThis sounds like something you think should be true because it’s “just so”, but I don’t see any evidence that it actually is. NCAP seems quite strict, perhaps more than NHTSA

- whynotmaybe 2y agoEasily as they are already 5 stars on the euro ncap. https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/byd/seal/50012 https://www.euroncap.com/en/results/byd/seal/50012
- kube-system 2y agoPassing safety tests is mostly an exercise in designing for a target market. If you want to sell a car for a global market, you design it to pass the tests that are required to sell it there. The reason a $5000 Chinese microcar EV with 50 mile range and 45mph top speed probably isn't going to meet US safety standards because it's a pointless exercise. The car isn't designed for those buyers, and will never be sold there. EVs built for western market export will be more expensive, but 'cheap' by western standards, and designed for those markets.
- csomar 2y agoCertainly better than the cybertruck.
