Tesla's CyberTruck won't be able to legally circulate in Europe

According to Stefan Teller, sGS-T-V Saar GmbH security expert, Tesla's CyberTruck would not meet the structural parameters to be approved in EU countries. While in the United States the certification of vehicles is carried out by the manufacturers themselves, European regulations are stricter, especially with regard to pedestrian safety. The CyberTruck's stainless steel armoured structure, lacking in elasticity, would be too dangerous for pedestrians involved in any accidents and passengers. The lack of elasticity of the body or elastic elements on it ensures that the force of any impacts is not cushioned by anything and would harm both passengers and pedestrians.

The only loophole to the possible ban would be a major structural change to the car, with the risk to lose, along with its authentic design, the appeal it had for the public. However, the prospect of a modified CyberTruck for Europe is not fanciful, as Tesla already has plans for a Gigafactory in Germany, near Berlin, which could be responsible for production for the European market.
