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.
I'm not a Tesla fan but that sounds like a boring paperwork issue and not a real safety issue, as far more dangerous things are 100% legal to roll on UK roads 24/7. And to my original point, if this vehicle isn't permitted, cheering for it to be destroyed is a tyrannical anti-Elon response. I don't have to be an Elon fan to call that attitude out as deranged.
