Campaigners Demand Ban on Tesla Cybertruck in Europe

Transport campaigners have raised alarms regarding Tesla's Cybertruck, deeming it too large and dangerous for European roads due to its sharp edges and heavy weight exceeding 4 tonnes. The vehicle’s design violates strict European safety regulations that prohibit such features and require speed limiters for heavy vehicles. Campaign groups, including the European Transport Safety Council, have called for a ban on the Cybertruck's operation in Europe, citing risks to other road users. The vehicle has been spotted on European streets despite these concerns and the registration of a Cybertruck in the Czech Republic has prompted questions about compliance with EU regulations. Activists argue that the influx of oversized vehicles threatens road safety, especially as Europe sees a trend towards larger SUVs. Although Tesla acknowledges the regulatory challenges, they have stated intentions to modify the Cybertruck for European compliance.
