Sober as a judge here! 🙂

bmgermany ... unlikely to be seen on this side of the pond ..... those sharp edges and corners wouldn't pass pedestrian safety regs for a kick-off!

There are some good youtube videos concerning the "tweaking" of the design to allow it to be acceptable for the US roads as well as the famous crash test. They are on the Internet so I only mention them for interest, I cannot vouch for their honesty!.

The shape has been refined to make it less evil. I remains made of folded stainless steel and so unlikely to deform quite so well as others. Bad for the driver and terrible for the impact surface.
Some of the design tweaks are explained by the team leads in this video. I admire the decision to do something different and actually think the stainless steel skeleton approach is a good thing for longevity if it can be surrounded by a little more squish.

On the crash test video you get to see how naughty the Interweb is. The whole video is showing how bad it was compared to a standard truck. However the test was clearly different - solid frontal vs offset. Q.E.D. (question everything done). Also some people claiming the rear axle had snapped as the wheel angle deforms. It does not have an axle and it has rear wheel steering, great to see so much fact based so called journalism being used.

I am just waiting for the first legal cases when someone has the three motor model, puts a tonne in the load bay and then tries a drag race only to break the car, the road and something following as the load takes to the air.

I thought all the new stamps had Chucks head on them. The one my cousin sent to USA did!

This must have been an earlier one, I'll confess to not remembering it from the time, it's etched itself now though
