I wonder if the Hummer was ever sold in Europe? It would seem to have many of the same issues as the CyberTruck.

The Hummer was sold in Europe. As a light truck requiring a C1 license, which aside from being different than the B license of a regular car has to be renewed every 5 years (until 60, then 2 years until 76 then 1 year) with a medical exam on each renewal.

The hummer is not as big (h1 is 4.69 m long, the cybertruck is 5.88 m) and that was before all these new regulations for pedestrian safety have been put in place.
