Regulators agree:
> According to EU auto standards expert Stefan Teller the Cybertruck would have to undergo “major modifications to the basic structure” because the Cybertruck “contradicts the European security philosophy.”
> ANCAP chief executive James Goodwin says the angular shape and stainless steel construction of the all-electric Cybertruck would likely pose risks to pedestrians and cyclists, which are among the most vulnerable road users and account for almost one in five fatalities.
- pcurve 3y agoI have a feeling Tesla truck wouldn’t even sell in EU
- rgmerk 3y agoCybertruck won’t be sold much anywhere outside the USA and Canada. There is a small but growing market in Australia for full-size American pickups, which are (expensively) converted to right-hand-drive in Australia by factory-backed conversion operators. They’re essentially marketed as penis extenders to cashed-up older men. Be interesting to see whether Tesla tries something similar; I suspect the customers for full-size pickups here in Oz want their vehicles to go brrrm.
