It doesn't meet safety standards in the US though

The last vehicle manufacture that entered the US Market and survived was Chrysler back in 1925.
Many others tried and failed, including many EV makers recently.

I was talking about domestic production.
These others only sell US approved models, not everything that they produce.
Which is a shame.

The low-slung EV with a 303 mile range starts at $340,000, pushing the American automaker into the realm of German, Italian, and English luxury sports cars. But the price can tick much, much higher, with options from leather floors to eucalyptus fiber mats.
GM builds two Celestiqs a day on average, a far cry from the automaker’s higher-volume vehicles churned out on a production line. The car is built by hand in Warren, Michigan, at GM’s Tech Center with more than 350,000 permutations.

If they have to update it to meet modern safety standards it won't be cheap. Which was its only selling point before.
