LOL ๐ I live in Denmark a country that is mostly flat, our highest "mountain" is a hill you can "climb" in half an hour.
And I live in the flattest part of the country. I just recently figured out that to brake without the regenerative braking, I have to put the car in Neutral. Regenerative breaking does not have a setting to disable it.
I think the blinker stalk may have become law here in EU, the directive for the door handles are AFAIK passed, but has a grace period, so China came first with making the door handles illegal, passing the law later, but enforcing it sooner. Kudos to China on that one.
I think in USA the department to make these regulations was closed by Elon Musk, in a very legal and very beautiful cooperation between government and private efficiency, as Trump would probably put it. ๐คก
