Tesla Cybertruck

The Cybertruck is preparing to travel across European roads starting April 30th for a presentation odyssey. Paris is on the itinerary.

Tesla announced the launch of a “Cybertruck Odyssey” across Europe for its iconic electric pickup. A short video published on Tesla Europe and Middle East’s X (formerly Twitter) account announced the list of the 20 cities involved: London and Manchester (England), Berlin and Hamburg (Germany), Madrid and Barcelona (Spain), Budapest (Hungary), Venice, Milan and Rome (Italy), Warsaw (Poland), Paris (France), Vienna (Austria), Prague (Czech Republic), Lisbon (Portugal), Istanbul (Turkey), Amsterdam (Netherlands), Oslo (Norway), Copenhagen (Denmark), and to conclude the grand tour, Stockholm in Sweden. A witty nod to the social conflicts Tesla has faced with Swedish authorities for several months.

Is this the long-awaited sign that the pickup might be marketed in Europe? Even before its launch, it was known that it would be complicated due to European pedestrian safety standards in the event of a collision.
The Cybertruck is very heavy because of its dimensions and its 123 kWh battery. With more than 3 tons empty on the scale, it could also fall into the pickup truck category in some countries, requiring a special driving license. Finally, the sharp edges of the Cybertruck’s body do not meet the standards of the Old Continent… that’s quite a lot!

Would Tesla be willing to modify the Cybertruck body for Europe? The low sales volume, linked to the price, size, and licensing requirements, suggests otherwise. The enormous costs of homologation, estimated in millions of dollars, also pose a challenge. But Elon Musk has never been one to avoid surprises.
