From the article
I still can barely believe this thing is real, and not something out of a bad 90s movie where video game characters come into the real world.
I was more meaning in a wider sense. A car manufacturer who can't sell their cars outside the US is shooting themselves in the foot.
Isn’t that kinda his specialty these days?
Manufacturers usually have separate models, a standard one for the whole world and a cut down version to save cost for the US
No it is pretty common, especially when it comes to safety features.
The EU has stricter requirements especially stuff like lights, and you see European models often fitted with extra lights to comply with the regulations.
Technology connections has an old video on this regarding brake lights and turn signals at least https://youtu.be/O1lZ9n2bxWA?si=h5I-5_BMLoFEoj1k
It sure is, significant cost savings to only stock one part rather than two. Multiply that by thousands of service centers and millions of vehicles
Not having distinct brake and turning lights is
I can. Look at that weird VR thing Facebook tried. No one says no to these people the result is they just go with any sci-fi movie they liked.
