Cars in the US are highly scrutinized by reviewers and enthusiasts, and they're highly regulated.

It's been basically impossible to disguise poor quality in cars here for a long time, so the failure of shiny chrome is the least of the Cybertruck's problems.

lol, very good

Maybe in very recent cars but man the lack of government standards allows the absolute worst cars to be driven on the road because a lot of manufacturers (mainly American and Korean) have had on and off decades of pretty bad low quality cars. Cars that would fail inspection in Japan or Germany are perfectly fine here and as a result the overall fleet is on the crappier side.
I don't think most states in the us even have vehicle inspections. Certainly not all do.
