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

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.

Cybertruck is obviously not yet passing through Europe, but the rest of the planet should
be enough to ensure its success, writes lepoint.
