  > Tesla doesn't have a great record anyways.
If I'm not mistaken, and please somebody correct me if I am mistaken, Teslas meet or exceed the absolute highest safety regulations in the US and in Europe.

They have the highest rate of fatal accidents across all car brands, more than double the average.

EU safety regs are pass/fail - there's no sources stating Tesla have exceeded anything there, they need to pass in order to be sold in Europe, so they've done whatever the minimum required is for that. To do so, they've needed to make numerous compromises & changes to their cars to make them fit for the EU market - notably no FSD. Hardly indicative of a car brand that exceeds anything.

As for US safety standards, that seems a lower bar...

Like the people who get trapped in case of accident when the electricity fail and is burned inside?

The “Cybertruck” (ffs …) is not legal in the EU due to safety regulations, so I would say that you are mistaken.
