Good luck with that in Europe.

It's already illegal in CA, and I can't imagine laws in other states being significantly different. (let's ignore the idiocy of allowing red indicator lights in the US)

  California vehicle code (VEH 25251.5.7(a)) has an interesting inclusion of strobing yellow center light proportional to brake force. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH&sectionNum=25251.5.&article=7 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio.... What I think is absurd is red, yellow, and/or blue flashing lights except for emergency vehicles on or conveying to an emergency. Throughout the South US, maintenance vehicles flash zillions of lights creating visual distractions and flasher fatigue.

It is already over 8000lbs, which is 3,6 tones so most people with B driving license can't drive it because it has limit on 3,5 tones vehicles https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/24/business/tesla-cybertruck-vin-decoder/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/24/business/tesla-cybertruck...

    Why stop at 4.25 tonnes ? Sky is the limit. /s It will be fun when parking places and roads will start to collapse.

  That’s a feature not a bug. In Seattle cars are a lot cheaper off they weigh 6k lb or more as they are tax exempt
