If the vehicle is not road legal, it is frequently seized, and the owner has to arrange for it to be made road legal or it is considered abandoned.
Abandoned vehicles are often destroyed, yes.

Well that is not what you originally said and what I commented on. You advocated for confiscation and destruction of a legal product to own in the UK.
Fine the driver, jail the driver, do whatever the law requires when someone breaks a traffic law. Just owning that particular vehicle apparently is not a crime in the UK. Destroying the vehicle as a punitive measure is simply not appropriate. Would you confiscate and destroy the shoes of someone trespassing on a path?
From the article:
“Just because UK residents are allowed to purchase an imported Cybertruck doesn’t mean they can drive it on public roads. Choosing to take the risk opens them up to a police stop.”
