The aviation industry is also chock full of mandatory servicing requirements[1] that even lead to semi strip downs at regular intervals.

However, once purchased, one is legally allowed to drive a CyberTruck no matter how old or how many issues there are (being licensed and insured etc. aside).

Possibly. Possibly not. I’m no expert so I couldn’t even begin to speculate.

I’m just making a statement on the regulation requirements comparison between the auto and aviation industries really.

Mid-flight, "Hi, this is the captain. We're terribly sorry, but the plane will now be going into a 5 hour reboot mode. We flew through a rain cloud in the sun. Do not be alarmed when the lights turn off and the engines cease."
