By Henry Moore A motorist has had their Tesla Cybertruck, which is illegal to drive in the UK, seized by police. Listen to this article Picture: Getty “The driver was a permanent UK resident but the vehicle was registered and insured abroad which is prohibited in the UK. “The Tesla Cybertruck is not road legal in the UK and does not hold a certificate of conformity. “Whilst this may seem trivial to some, legitimate concerns exist around the safety of other road users or pedestrians if they were involved in a collision with a Cybertruck. “The vehicle was subsequently seized under S165 of the Road Traffic Act and the driver reported.” The bullet-proof electric truck is banned in the UK as it is yet to complete the required safety checks. Tesla was forced to recall thousands of Cybertrucks in April 2024, after concerns arose over their safety pedals. In December, the company recalled almost 700,000 of its electric vehicles because of an issue with the warning light on the tyre pressure monitoring system. Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck vehicles were at risk of the fault.
