This spring, the Tesla Cybertruck may be displayed in Germany after the automaker's current tour of China with the electric pickup.
Tesla Cybertruck Rumored to Make its Way to Germany in the Near Future
As of Sunday, X user Andre Fink revealed that Tesla's Cybertruck tour, which started last week in China, is scheduled to stop at the automaker's largest delivery site in Europe, Stuttgart Holzgerlingen. Fink says there is no clear date for when the Cybertruck will arrive; it will be on exhibit at the Holzgerlingen location in the spring, as per Teslarati.
Given that Tesla is now showcasing the Cybertruck in multiple Chinese towns, it wouldn't be shocking to see exhibits of the vehicle spread throughout Germany and possibly the rest of Europe, even though the veracity of the claims is currently unknown. Though he didn't provide a precise justification, CEO Elon Musk said last month that it would be "very difficult" to get the Cybertruck road legal in China. Similar assertions have been made on whether the truck could ever be sold in Europe.
Tesla Cybertruck's Global Challenges: Regulatory Hurdles and Market Strategies
In May 2022, Tesla ceased accepting orders for the Cybertruck in China and Europe, where it had previously accepted orders for the vehicle. Although the two regions have different regulations, it is generally accepted that the Cybertruck's size and heft violate pedestrian safety standards in all of them.
Furthermore, the truck's stainless-steel protrusion is a barrier to selling the vehicle in Europe, according to a recent statement made by Lars Moravy, Vice President of Vehicle Engineering at Tesla, as it extends beyond what is permitted by EU laws.
“One, the truck market in the US is huge and two, European regulations call for a 3.2mm external radius on external projections. “Unfortunately, it’s impossible to make a 3.2mm radius on a 1.4mm sheet of stainless steel,” Moravy explained to Top Gear.
Even yet, many would probably be happy to see the Cybertruck on exhibit in Germany, and hopefully throughout much of Europe, even if it couldn't be made legal to drive. The Cybertruck has drawn sizable crowds since it went on display in American showrooms, and Tesla could still use these kinds of display tours to promote the car and its high-tech features, which set it apart from other automobiles, like its 48-volt architecture and "Etherloop" wiring system.
