I think it will be much lighter then many expects.
It will be an exoskeleton with an underbody mega casting with integrated batteries.
It will be LIGHT and STRONG...
I totally agree, very disappointing.
But at least now we know that we will NOT get the Cybertruck to Europe, we can stop speculating and start looking for something else instead. Too bad there is NOTHING even close to this amazing truck when it comes to specs and price :cry:
For me the Mach-E is not an option, very hard to load and ATV or snowmobil on that :)
I really like the cybertrucks design. I do not mind the size of the truck, it would actually be one of the things I look forward to. I hoped that it would finally be a full size truck you could own in Europe...
I really hope they will deliver Cybertruck to Europe, and that as soon as possible ;)
But if the Cybertruck won't be a "world truck" and not comply with EU standards I would like to know that as soon as possible too.
If we can get Cybertruck in Europe within a year or two after delivery starts...
Hydrogen might work for powering off grid charging stations, but not to fuel cars and trucks.

I hope you are right, but i'm not convinced they will start producing two different sizes simultaneously.
My fear is they will start producing the full size Cybertruck but since they already stated they also would like to make a smaller cheaper car and also perhaps a van like car.
That could...
Most likely :cry:
I wonder if we ever will get anything like the cybertruck.
If Tesla already thinks the European demand for pickups is to low to even care for adapting Cybertruck to EU specifications, why would they then prioritize making a smaller pickup?
I really hope i'm wrong, but i'm...
He actually said they made an executive decision to not make the truck a world truck so that it does not comply with a lot of EU specs. but they are ok with that and that they could just build a slightly smaller truck that comply with the EU specs in the future.
you can listen to the clip...
Well it was actually Elon that stated that the Cybertuck would not comply the with Eu regulations.
I really hope that's wrong and that it will be compliant and available even in Europe
According to WhatCar.com Rivian will come to Europe.
"US sales are the first goal for Rivian, but it plans for a European launch within 12 months, including in the UK in right-hand drive."

How many of the reservations are made outside North America?
If Tesla now plan to not make the Cybertruck compliant with European regulations and perhaps instead just make it for the North American market....
I guess this will make the waiting list significantly shorter for most North American...
Will the Cybertruck just be available in North America and maybe Chine, but not in Europe?
Elon recently claimed that the cybertruck will not be a world truck and therefor not be compliant with many Eu specs.
If this devastating news is true, Tesla should immediately clarify this, and stop...
Extremely disappointing if Tesla decides to make the cybertruck just for the north american market and not make it compliant with the EU market.
The cybertruck is NOT to big for all European roads. not all Europeans live in old towns with narrow streets.
Some will love the original cybertruck...
You are right, the head lights should of course be both low and high beam and the bar between should work in offroad mode or together with the high beam lights.
I don't understand why everyone think the cybertrucks headlight will be illegal, it is not a solid light bar. It's separate lights left and right with a highbeam lightbar inbetween.
The light bar on top is according to Elon “laser blade lights” that will come standars on all cybertrucks.
In the photos released by tesla you can see the mounting points.
But on the prototype in the Petersen Automotive museum I cannot see the same mounting points :confused:
I think we should take in count that this is an early engineering/display prototype.
If i'm not totally wrong this prototype was made with a frame and not the exoskeleton, so the underside and suspension might very well be different on the final production modell.
Elon has also said that it...
I was amazed to see how low the tailgate was when Elon steped up on the tonneau cover in the Jay Leno garage clip.
This little photomontage show a quick comparison between the bedheight on the Cybertruck and an F150.
It will be so much easier to step up on the Cybertrucks bed and to load it...
