    Tesla’s 6,800lb (3,080kg) Cybertruck probably won’t be coming to Europe at all, because at that weight, it requires a trucking licence to drive

    The maximum gross weight allowed for a “car“ driver license is 3500kg.

      The cybertruck has a gross weight of 4300kg, which highly exceeds the 3500kg

      In my country, for electric cars, they raised limit (gross/max. weight) to 4250 kg. Probably by the car lobby.

      According to the specs, the AWD trim has max. weight of 4238 kg.

      So, no problem with the standard drivers license.

      If only CyberUglytruck gets the EU approval.

        Also because, otherwise, electric workvans are impossible
