As long as they are safety rated for here i guess it’s alright.
They export them in droves to Europe, and I’d be very surprised if there’s a single thing on a vehicle which isn’t regulated stricter in Europe than in North America. Maybe emissions in California? Not much emissions from an EV, though.
Yuppers so that part would be fine. I’m not excited about more of my data being sold to another country/company though…
Got bad news for you if you think any modern car isn’t already doing that. :(
Oh I know they are, another reason to keep my older vehicle running
You think American cars aren’t going that?
No, that’s why I said another country/company
They sell them in EU, that have higher standards than us.
Even though EU has substantial tariffs on them. If we lowered the tariffs or eliminate them, we’d have dirty cheap cars and no more domestic car industry over night.
I’m asking this in honest curiosity. Do we have a domestic car industry anymore? Does a Can-Am Spyder count? I might just be tired this morning, but I can’t think of a single Canadian car manufacturer of any volume right now.
Ah, sorry, I was referring to the EU, not Canada.
I probably should have noticed that. I’ll chalk it up to an early Sunday brain.
