Because nothing is ever done that ignores or defies regulations.
Because the fines are always so steep and crushing that corporations never continue doing the bad thing while just paying the tiny fines.
The cars wouldn’t be fit for sale, it’s not a “pay a fine” thing. They won’t be allowed to sell them.
Teslas are already loaded with regulation-defying jank and have been produced in factories that were supposed to be closed during covid lockdowns. You're imagining a fantastical version of laws and regulations that actually stop billionaire assholes from just walking over them.
I mean that’s fair, but I wouldn’t put my money on the cyber truck releasing without airbags. (If it ever actually sells at all)
With the systemic structural failures and shoddy workmanship of Teslas so far, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a grudging performative presence of airbags that fail to deploy under intended conditions.
