The reason that the Cybertruck will probably never be sold officially in the EU is that it doesn't even come close to meeting EU standards for pedestrian protection. You'd have to prove to me that the designers gave any consideration at all to pedestrian protection. They sure don't seem to have concerned themselves very much with what it would do to passengers in other vehicles it hits, either. But maybe you can somehow demonstrate that they at least tried. To fix those problems and make it EU street legal, Tesla would have to totally redesign it. And then it wouldn't look like something from a cringeworthy 40 year old dystopian SF novel any more. I'm just gobsmacked that the Cybertruck came from the same people who designed the Model 3. Good grief.
