There's absolutely no way they'd get that thing homologated here.

You know that there will be these guys who go through hoops and burn money to somehow import them.

Might want a Western one, I've heard the Russian ones like to explode and toss their turret when hut by a Cybertruck.

Does USA not have mandatory safety tests for vehicles?

[–] thedirtyknapkin 19 points 6 months ago

that have been caught lying numerous times before, yet nothing has changed.
