    Ah, yes. Tesla makes the best non-Cybertruck products with the following features:

    -Door cards that fall off when you slam the door too hard

    -Non-automotive grade monitors presenting yellowing over time

    -Disabling and removal of key industry standard sensors for higher levels of autonomy

    -Trunk lids that leak water into your trunk when you open it

    -Panel gaps more inconsistent that Ferrari, except Tesla made no effort to ensure alignment after the fact

    -Putting common and safety features behind a screen with no fail safe

        That’s because the testing standards had not yet adapted to cars with such low center of gravity.

          Or sedans that heavy. Because it’s a multiple of vehicle weight, while the raw number is extremely high for a sedan of the time, the roof crush score is actually pretty mediocre even compared to a Golf from the same year, it’s just so damn heavy the roof had to be stronger to even pass.
