Now why would the EU mandate details that make for a less safe driving? You are implying they are either malicious or stunningly incompetent.
Not stunningly, just moderately. But generally yes, that's a good description for EU bureaucrats.

Wordy, worthy, self interested, rule fetish... All of that. But not incompetent like this.
Teslas being optimised for L.A. makes more sense in this case.
Unusually it looks to me like conspiracy rather than cock up.
