Seems highly unlikely that the guy can make a road-legal truck in his garage for sale, but best of luck to him.
I’ve watched a bunch of his videos before. He has an old abandoned car factory with a ton of equipment. No idea how any of the building maintenance has been paid for since they were in rough shape but would be cool to see it in action. Not sure YouTube ad dollars and patreon will carry him all the way there though
I think that the Cybertruck is proof that anyone who knows how to use a welding torch can create a road legal vehicle in the US
the cybertruck was made by a very rich pedo though. those are above the rules.
He explained they will be selling as a kit not a complete car. most states have a ‘kit car’ registration option for things like custom tube chassis cars. Would a dealership be able to sell them new and fully built? Almost certainly not.
Ah, I must have missed that. Thanks for that extra bit of context.
Not to mention, at the end of the video he says he’s in need of specialists of basically every kind needed for the project. I have the same level of capability to complete this project, though the video’s popularity speaks to the demand for it
Trump 3 will introduce sweeping deregulation of automobiles.
Would more likely be a forceful regulation of cars.
More likely we would be trying to push out imported cars by pushing some kind of “american saftey” regulation. Maybe claiming that the imported cars have Chinese spyware in them (but the spyware in our cars is cool), or by saying that they are trying to flood the market with cheap unsafe garbage cars so we need to tarrif them even more to save our domestic car market.
All while we forcefully regulated in more computers that make the roads even more unsafe. No one can turn their god damn neck anymore because of those stupid blind spot detectors and lane assist just means you can text while driving now. Oh and every car needs to collect more data than your phone can do legally. Bullshit computers won’t let you change the MOTOR for your windshield because the part is Vin locked so you have to spend 500 dollars on just the motor before the technician who is the only person allowed to work on your car, charges you 2.5 grand in labor. All that for a fix that uses to cost 20 dollars at a pick and pull.
Another route we can go is because cars have so many cameras the cars now have to have some American made operating system forced into them for “national security” which Honda, KIA, etc will all have to scramble to get working and it will be a disastrous mess that bricks cars, and causes a lot of issues.
In no way shape or form are cars going to become cool again and become deregulated. If anything gets deregulated its the consumer protections for data collection. Cars are on track to be this thing you are not allowed to own, but like a autonomous taxi that you indefinitely rent, and have no control or ownership over. It will be a narc and report and record everything you do. Its like public transport, but you have to pay the price for the whole car, and pay a monthly subscription for it on top of paying for the matience (that only the OEM can do at a $250 a hr labor charge).
I can only wish cars could become more degregulated. Im still bittered we bailed out the automotive industry all for them to keep fucking us in the ass with shittier bigger trucks that break down more often and we have to pay off for two to three presidential terms. Fucking China has the equivalent of a Tesla for 16k, and in the united States I can buy a Ford bronco for 36 months at 450 dollars a month.
Somehow it still won’t allow byd electric cars despite them being able to go a 1000 miles on a single charge and it taking less time to recharge than it does now by then
If it won’t you can be sure it’s because that sector didn’t pay their bribes.
Sounds like imperial measurements and parts:(
Why wouldn’t you want your open-source user serviceable vehicle to use parts available within your continent??? Seriously, what are you trying to even say
I used to work in manufacturing in the auto industry. Everything is already metric in the US. People working on US made cars have the privilege of losing a 10mm socket just like the rest of the world.
Even the American car industry widely uses metric parts. These parts are easily available not just around the world, but in the US as well.
continent? the only place in america that uses shitty imperial units is the burger reich
burger reich
As an American, I’ll admit this one is a good dig
my bad
Can we get an open source American compact coupé?
Kinda wanted to watch that, but had stop after the unskippable car ad (lol) a few minutes in
If you’re not blocking ads you’re a class traitor
yes, denying google ad revenue is good.
watching on freetube or pipepipe/freepipe is even better, as they don’t get your data
On a platform that doesn’t allow ad-blockers, I’m guessing?
