If you are living in the UK and love Tesla’s Cybertruck, then I do not have good news for you. The legal authorities from the UK regarding the Cybertruck have issued a ban. This means that if you were thinking of purchasing one or have already ordered one, then you need to stop or make a plan because the UK roads are not allowed to be seen with this type of car. Elon Musk is in trouble because it is not looking good for him. If he wants to still have a market share in the UK, then maybe he can manufacture another type of Cybertruck that meets the road rules and requirements.
The Cybertruck has been resisted, and it is sad for Tesla lovers
This is not a good sign for Elon Musk, his brands and Tesla overall. Look at it this way: this Cybertruck has not even rolled out or done anything, but the UK government has resisted it so quickly that it is questionable. Yes, of course, we understand that the roads in the UK are smaller, but there is more to it, maybe; who knows? The rules are tight.
This does not mean the European citizens do not love the Cybertruck. In fact, for some, they have waited for years for this dream to come true, but it looks like everyone is now jeopardising it. To own a Cybertruck, you might have to relocate to the United States from the United Kingdom. So, now that we have it and know it. The UK has issued a ban on the Cybertruck, and it has nothing to do with self-driving.
The UK’s Cybertruck Ban: The issue is not new technology but old-fashioned safety
The Cybertruck is a unique car. It was built to be tough. It is not your usual, regular day-to-day car. Although there are people who have purchased it for their own personal use, it is more suitable for authorities, top celebrities who are usually at risk of being attacked, and serious events. The electric vehicle has sharp edges and is bigger in size, something that the UK does not allow.
Therefore, the UK has been prioritising the safety of its people. If you have read some of our articles surrounding the same topic, one of the things that we raised about the UK is that the Cybertruck’s size on the roads and its sharp edges can harm cyclists and general road users. Someone emphasises that even if an accident were to occur, the chances of death are very high.
Unlawful British Tesla Cybertruck seized by police
Early in January of this year, an owner of the Cybertruck had to learn the hard way. Unfortunately, it was not his fault, because perhaps he was just like any other car buyer and was glad to own a Cybertruck. In northwest Europe, the owner was having the time of his life, driving the car, and the Greater Manchester Police (GMP) spotted and stopped the vehicle and seized it. Now, Tesla cuts Cybertruck prices up to $6,000 as 2024 models sit unsold.
This shows us how a nation and its rules have power. We know how much Elon Musk and his brands have taken over the globe and have been magnified for their work. Which, in essence, are good. We cannot take away the excellent work Musk has done; however, because of this, he probably thinks he will easily have his way on the continent of Europe. Right now, the Cybertruck has been banned, and there is nothing he can do about it. Not only in the UK, but also regulatory regulations led to the German ban of the Cybertruck. For Europe, safety and respect come first for its citizens.
