Neither are many vehicles sold in the US. That doesn’t tell us much.

I’m not sure if you mean to imply that most US vehicles aren’t sold in Europe, but I don’t think that’s the case -- there are plenty of US cars in Europe (including Teslas, although they’re going rapidly out of fashion).

I don't think any US cars are capable of being sold without a whole heap of changes. US cars in Europe have been modified to meet the regulations. Same of course for European cars in the US.

Right, I just meant that for most popular US car models, the manufacturers do all the checks and modifications needed to sell a European variant, but that's specifically not the case for the Cybertruck.

Either the design is fundamentally incompatible with European regulations, or they just don't think there's market demand. But note that other US truck do sell in Europe and the UK, e.g. the F-150.

There's something special about the Cybertruck. The special thing seems to be that it's a lemon.

> “The car has modifications for sharp edges in the form of rubber edge guards that could come into contact with pedestrians at the front and back,” Slovak said.

So, like a bumper car?

Not entirely unlike it. It's also like the foam inserts on a product, when you take it out from its cardboard box.
