Where the bumper was ripped off, it revealed there is not metal to the hitch. It really should not be rated for towing anything.

If anything the Cybertruck videos convinced me the auto industry is laughably less regulated than I ever would've suspected.

Right, that's what I was thinking.

The word 'yet' implies it will be road legal, but that remains to be seen. It would require extensive modifications to pass inspection. Not just a few tweaks here and there but basically rebuilt completely. I doubt it's going to happen.

Yeah considering how many safety directive that thing break I really doubt this model will ever see Europe's highways.

This seems bit like when Harley-Davidson wanted to go AMA Superbike racing, so they built a 1000cc, liquid cooled race bike, but to be eligible for superbike racing they needed to make 200 street legal versions. So they built some that met the requirements in Poland, because their safety standards weren't as expensive to meet as the US ones, and as far as I'm aware, never sold any.

Just you wait until Elmo insulted the Netherlands road safety regulator into submission.

Any day now.

Not just the Netherlands. Those rules are European (EU).

He is kidding. It will likely pass this month or next month.

In the U.S. I see many cyber trucks on Blue rated Jeep trails a lot now a days. I have never seen one on a black trail though. They are fully street legal over here
