    From the article

    The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards regulate taillight design, mandating minimum area, placement, quantity, and visibility according to vehicle category, dimensions, and weight. However, the FMVSS does not appear to prohibit deactivating taillights during braking, so the Cybertruck’s taillights as seen here seem to be legal—even if they are perplexing, and potentially dangerous.

    I still can barely believe this thing is real, and not something out of a bad 90s movie where video game characters come into the real world.

      I was more meaning in a wider sense. A car manufacturer who can’t sell their cars outside the US is shooting themselves in the foot.

      I can. Look at that weird VR thing Facebook tried. No one says no to these people the result is they just go with any sci-fi movie they liked.
