The Cybertruck does not comply with European safety standards, as the continent's regulations prohibit protruding edges of the vehicle - the body must be rounded by at least 3.2 millimeters. It is not yet possible to achieve such a shape in the Cybertruck, says Lars Moravian, Vice President of Lars Moravi, vice president of Tesla. The French weekly Le Point writes about this , reports UNN.

One of the best-selling best-selling electric cars in the world, but European safety standards are a real challenge for are a real challenge for the introduction of Cybertrucks in the Old Continent. It raises questions about its shape, as well as its large weight and possible low susceptibility to deformation in the event of an impact.
As for the shape, European standards require a rounding of 3.2 millimeters on protruding parts. To cross the the Atlantic, the Cybertruck would have to change its appearance, but that would call into the very concept of the vehicle.
Unfortunately, such a rounding is not possible on a 1.4-millimeter-thick sheet of stainless steel
Will Tesla want to adapt the Cybertruck's body to adapt the Cybertruck body for Europe? Low sales volume due to price, size and driving license, suggests otherwise, according to specialized automotive media.
Another question: The cybertransporter also faces another obstacle in the form of frankly bad crash test standards. Compared to the Ford F-150, it raises questions.

The car is so rigid that it barely bends when it hits a wall at 56 km/h, but it throws the passengers it is supposed to protect into it with force. Just like a pre-1970 car. European standards have long require that cars have crumple zones at the front and rear. They help to absorb kinetic energy in the event of a collision and, in combination with the seat belt and airbag, they reduce the impact on the bodies of the occupants.
Career Cybertruck is obviously not yet passing through Europe, but the rest of the planet should be enough to ensure its success, writes lepoint.
