    Are you fucking kidding me? The only laminated glass that should be on a car is the windshield. Everything else should be tempered.

      This is not just a problem with Tesla, but a requirement by NHTSA that is fairly common and will be everywhere

      One in three 2018 models have such glass

      a rule the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) passed in 2011. It’s known as Ejection Mitigation, and it requires a combination of side airbag curtains and stronger windows to keep occupants inside the car during a rollover.

        Jesus Tapdancing Christ, that’s what a fucking seatbelt is for. What the fuck is going on with the NHTSA? They’re the reason why cars are huge and getting bigger, and now they want them to be crematoriums as well?
