I'm sure it will meet all of the strict safety requirements of other countries.....
Mexico makes some pretty good cars man.
Like, none of their own...but there's a lot of auto assembly in Mexico, and for some brands those plants are preferable because of their track record.
Sure, but what about this ultra cheap EV that's like half the price or less of the next cheapest EV on the market elsewhere?
Same with Canada, the Civic and Rav4, plus several garbage Detroit models.
The reason is simple, automakers can't afford US healthcare. US healthcare is the entire reason why manufacturing has been leaving the US over 30 years.
You know where had some of the world's highest vehicle safety standards? France.
You know what you see everywhere in France?
The Citroen Ami is not a car, it's legally a quadricycle, and thus exempt from safety laws for proper vehicles.
You can buy these covered Rascal scooters cheap, it doesn't make them cars.
Wait, do you actually see the Ami everywhere in France? That's brilliant if true.
The sold barely 8,000 a year for all of France.
Looks like I don't even need to point out the flaws here.
