    how tf are these things insurable

    That’s the neat part, they aren’t.

    or even in compliance with federal motor vehicle safety standards?

    Because American standards only focus on the safety of those inside the vehicle, they also assume that the manufacturers make the frame out of something at least a little stronger than wet tissue paper.

        To be fair, if I spent 60% of a house on such a useless vehicle, then I would probably need a lot of support too.

        (In case the link expires, it links to a real estate listing costing 243,500 CAD or 171,000 USD. Meaning that the Swastdumpster would cost 58.4% of a rather nice house located here)
