[QUOTE="X-Wing, post: 1182830, member: 39775"] [B] Every design decision is a compromise between function, form and economics.[/B] E.g. How safe is the 3rd row in the Model S? Perhaps not as safe as the front drive & passenger seats in absolute terms, but that made it into production. Will a folding Model X 2nd row be less safe than the Model S 3rd row? [B] Sometimes the regulation is not really about safety but rather costly red tapes to cut through.[/B] E.g. 2015 Golf R storage under the center console armrest is locked out and inaccessible for the US market, because it lacks a latch. By the way the Golf R is made in Germany, most other Golf trims are made in Mexico. E.g. 2015 Golf R also cannot be ordered with a sunroof. Because the chasis is shared with the e-Golf and was certified in the US without a Sunroof. Doesn't mean that a unlatched storage space or sunroof are inherently dangerous. No, just red tapes that were not economical for VW to overcome. So, they took short cuts. Wait, didn't they also do that with their diesel engines? Shows you their corporate culture. [/QUOTE]
