My understanding is that the Cybertruck is less likely to cause a pedestrian fatality than an F150 due to its lower hood height and better forward visibility.
But that's a pretty low bar. Crafting regulations that force the F150 back to the sensible dimensions it had last century would be an awesome side effect if it can ride on Cybertruck hate for support.
What’s fucking sad is we have people advocating government seizure and destruction of someone’s private property just because they don’t like the rich guy who’s company made the product.
Yeah that's the only reason for sure, has nothing to do with the existing regulations on vehicle dimensions or the fact these things crumble or explode if you glance in their direction.
The amount of love for tyranny and hate for Elon is unreal. The UK definitely allows other bigger and more dangerous vehicles besides the Cybertruck, as proven by the fact that other countries allow thousands of Cybertrucks and electric Hummers. So it really is a matter of having adequate insurance and permits at the end of the day.
To be legal in the UK, vehicles have to have a certificate of conformity, getting one is the responsibility of the manufacturer. Tesla have done that for their other models, but not for cybertruck. I assume that's because the have decided the costs of getting cybertruck compliant with UK regulations would be too high, or not practical.
That's a business decision made by Tesla, not victimisation of poor old Elon, whatever the Musk fanbois think.

Elon is playing dirty, so should the UK and EU. Hit him where it hurts. Ban the sale of Teslas. The enemy is at the gates.
I'm confident that many countries have massive Tesla tariffs being readied to roll out in response to the Trump tariffs coming tomorrow.
Raccoons sometimes create temporary 'day beds' in thick brush or dense vegetation.
Is that you Elon?
Shit posting on X = playing dirty?
Bankrolling a neo-nazi party (AfD) and almost the Reform Party is not shit posting.

Good. We should do the same here in Canada
Sadly they're giving it him back if he can prove he has insurance, should just crush it IMO.

Its not a mere issue of size, it fails to comply with UK pedestrian safety laws.
