Tesla’s 6,800lb (3,080kg) Cybertruck probably won’t be coming to Europe at all, because at that weight, it requires a trucking licence to drive

The maximum gross weight allowed for a “car“ driver license is 3500kg.

The cybertruck has a gross weight of 4300kg, which highly exceeds the 3500kg

In my country, for electric cars, they raised limit (gross/max. weight) to 4250 kg. Probably by the car lobby.

According to the specs, the AWD trim has max. weight of 4238 kg.

So, no problem with the standard drivers license.

If only ~~Cyber~~Uglytruck gets the EU approval.
