was far too bulky and sharp to be allowed on European roads, saying, “the approval and registration of Cybertrucks
in the EU poses illegal risks to all over road users.” Tough words, but they’re probably right. Here’s more of the letter, from Wired:
“The small number of Cybertrucks registered so far in the EU need to be de-registered, with the relevant Member States confirming their removal from public roads,” continues the letter, signed by the leaders of, among others, the European Transport Safety Council, the International Federation of Pedestrians, and the European Cyclists’ Federation.
“Very oversized pickup trucks [are] now being increasingly imported and bringing danger to our streets,” warned James Nix of the nonprofit Transport & Environment, one of the other organizations that signed the open letter, which cites the US consumer advocacy nonprofit group Center for Auto Safety’s conclusion that compares the EV’s potential to harm pedestrians to “a guided missile.”
