I would much rather have Trump bam platform laws in terms of drivetrain and secondary features and remove grey market laws over what he is doing.

These same laws bar Toyo from offering a Prime with a solar panel here.

Toyo states the panel would shatter thus wouldn't pass tests but it's EXTERNAL to occupants and irrelevant (sort of like saying if your mirror shatters in a crash you wouldn't pass)

The key word was tests, the solar panel makes the Prime solar a different platform thus Toyo has to pay $$$$ to test, that is the real reason, passing is irrelevant when it's millions to test a low volume option
