Tesla Cybertruck ‘too big and sharp’ for European roads, say campaigners


Questions raised about registration in Czech Republic of one of first models to reach continent

Tesla’s Cybertruck is too big and sharp for European roads, transport campaigners have warned, as questions are raised about the registration of one of the first of the electric pickup trucks to hit the continent. There had been confusion about whether the Cybertruck could be driven in Europe, owing to strict road safety rules that ban sharp edges and require speed limiters on vehicles that weigh more than 3.5 tonnes when full. If it were to hold four passengers who were slightly heavier than the average European man, or carry cargo such as furniture or other heavy goods, it would weigh more than 3.5 tonnes – the threshold for vehicles that need a speed limiter.
