Here in Norway, anything that has an allowed total weight above 3500 kg is classified as a light truck and not a car, is limited to 80 km/h max speed and you need a different license to drive it (C1 instead of B).
The C1 license training is much more extensive and costs a lot more. You also need to renew it every 5 years as it's really a "professional" license.
I see the base F1 weighs 2900 kg without the driver. That leaves about 500 kg for other passengers and cargo, about the same as an ID.4 if you want to register it with a normal B license. But I am looking at their sales brochure here in Norway now and it is sold as a C1 vehicle which means it is also limited to 80 km/h max speed. Max speed is conveniently left out of all marketing material too!
Kind of puts a limit to it.
The ID.Buzz is selling quite well here to people who use them for work instead of shopping, making one of the versions (the cargo) the 7th most sold vehicle so far in 2023 [1].
The cybertruck I don't think will be legal at all here due to the lack of crumple zones to protect pedestrians. It was pulled from pre ordering quite some time ago.

- rascul 3y agoOh I misunderstood and F1 immediately meant Formula 1 car to me, and that was wrong.
- frumper 3y agoThe ID.Buzz weights 3000kg, the base F150 weighs 2100kg. That's the truck that the OP is complaining about everyone in America buys to drive around in. The F150 Lightning isn't really available and is what I believe you're referring to at 2900kg.
- tyfon 3y agoYes, I was referring to the electric version. I forget that fossil vehicles are still sold en masse in other countries! The point was really that the F1 Lightning is not a vehicle for personal use, and for work the buzz is much better.
