Politely, fuck Discord, and fuck anyone who thinks Discord is the right way to make anything accessible to the public.
You had me at “politely”.
in most 1st world countries
The US isn’t a 1st world country. It just cosplays as one.
I don’t understand why you’re referring to China’s regulations all the time. They are irrelevant.
I wish they were, but those cars are made in China. There’s a lot that gets looked the other way.
And someone at Tesla said recently in an interview that they wanted to do a certain thing with the Cybertruck but couldn’t because “we couldn’t get the regulation changed on that one”. (I don’t remember what that specific thing was)
Aside from the batteries and fake auto-pilot, the non-Cybertruck Tesla’s have a very good track record.
It’s both. China’s lack of regulations make a bad thing worse.
lmao I have a very strong disdain for Tesla.

Keep in mind that negative stories from China (anything that casts China itself or people/companies within China) are heavily and aggressively censored.
If you want yourself or your house to burn in a lítium battery fire, then sure, go for it.
Edit: I’m going to tag this post of mine and come back in a few years when all the stories about banning Chinese-made EVs come out because of safety issues. See you all in a couple years.
You’re introducing an argument as a way to undermine the viewpoint that’s opposite to yours.
No one said it’s fine “when we do it”. That’s not the point being discussed.
The other bigger issue here is that these new cars are coming from a region that has a horrendous track record for safety and quality. EVs when done right are still a considerable risk with battery fires, but the ones manufactured in China are much worse for quality and safety. In the next few years, as these cars flood markets around the world, it will be a massive issue.
Sony is just as bad in their own ways.
