Looks like one was registered in the Czech Republic, but EU regulators are saying the details on the registration don’t line up with reality. (3.5 tons on registration when it actually weighs 4) And that even the rubber bumpers added to the sharp bits, it still runs foul of the prohibitions on sharp edges.
As far as I can tell they can be imported for off-road use, they’re just not street-legal.
Yeah, I’ve seen some from Serbia that are just bribed plates that have gotten impounded in Germany and UK.
Sadly in Norway there’s an exception for any US or Canadian legal vehicle that has been registered for at least 6 months in US/Canada that makes it so it can be brought to Norway and registered fully legal, with no modifications.
You then abuse the fact that Schengen regulations say that anything road legal in a Schengen country is road legal in any other Schengen country, and boom you can register a 6month old Cybertruck in any Schengen country.
Damit. But at least they must be still roadsafe to german standards. If on the road. But then, the cops must prove that they are unsafe for each individual one. Much paperwork, and german cops hate paperwork
Sadly, people have found ways to make them road legal in Germany. (entirety of schengen too)
They did? Last time I did see one, it was in the process of beeing confiscated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At least there’s a significant barrier of entry with the cost, you’re not gonna get it road legal under 150k EUR.
So hey, we get some taxes out of it.
