Tesla can't find buyers for the current backlog of nearly 2,400, or $200 million worth of Cybertrucks, despite claiming over a million orders were received.

    Are these pieces of junk for sale anywhere outside of Trumpistan? I travel all over the EU for work constantly and I’ve never see one over here, ever.

      I don’t think they’re legal in EU, couldn’t pass the safety tests.

        Last I heard, sales were down 94% in Germany, so that means they are, technically, for sale in Germany. I think they’re very different than American ones though

      Cybertrucks aren’t street legal in stock configuration in Czechia, however I’ve seen one idiot on Facebook who bought one and paid about the same as the car on top of it to make it street legal. It looks even dumber lol.

              It’s like sprinkling glitter on a turd, it’s still a turd.

                Except, it isn’t glitter. It’s more like puking on a turd.

      I’ve never seen one in Australia. They don’t meet the ADR (Australian Design Rules) so they literally cannot be sold except for use on private land - a farmer could drive one around their field if they so desired. When asked about international sales Musk said he didn’t want to design it for a global market because that would “make the design worse” which is really saying something.

      This article is from last year but still applicable. Given sales and events since then I think the title can be updated from “any time soon” to “ever”, and that warms my heart a little. https://www.drive.com.au/news/why-tesla-cybertruck-not-coming-australia/

        Well, not banned explicitly, they just didn’t pass the safety regulations all vehicles must adhere to. Main issue is pedestrian safety, due to the sharp edges of the panels.

      The UK won’t allow them at all. Recently, someone imported one elsewhere in Europe. When they brought it to the UK, it got seized as dangerous. Even though it wasn’t even UK registered. I believe several other countries view it in the same light.

      I’d actually be surprised if they even fit on a lot of European roads.

        Tbf that applies to a lot of the newer SUVs.
