Questions raised about registration in Czech Republic of one of first models to reach continent
Tesla’s Cybertruck is too big and sharp for European roads, transport campaigners have warned, as questions are raised about the registration of one of the first of the electric pickup trucks to hit the continent.
Approval authorities in member states, which are responsible for checking vehicles before they reach the market, have some room to deviate from EU rules in individual cases if they impose alternative requirements. The Czech transport ministry said all vehicles in the N1 category, in which the truck was registered, have weight ratios calculated from formulas in EU regulation from 2018. But the vehicle data it provided shows the Cybertruck does not satisfy the formulas when carrying four passengers.
The Czech transport ministry said it did not see the discrepancy as a problem because the registration was “individual approval of a vehicle from the national scope only on the territory of the Czech Republic” and not a “type approval” for the EU free market.
