Tesla Cybertruck Seized in UK Over Safety Concerns

A Tesla Cybertruck was seized by Greater Manchester Police in the UK due to it being illegal for road use and raising safety concerns. The vehicle was registered and insured abroad by a UK resident, which is against UK regulations, and it lacked the necessary certificate of conformity required to drive legally in the country. Despite some owners attempting modifications to meet local compliance, UK authorities deemed the Cybertruck dangerous, particularly to pedestrians and smaller vehicles in collisions. This event underscores the broader challenges Tesla faces in expanding the Cybertruck beyond North American markets, where it is currently sold. Owners of imported Cybertrucks in the UK must prove ownership and valid insurance to reclaim seized vehicles.
