A Tesla Cybertruck was recently spotted with a license plate in China’s Tianjin, prompting discussions on the potential for electric vehicle registration in the country.
Tesla's Cybertruck Shows First License Plate in China
The first electric vehicle (EV) to be seen with a license plate in China appears to be a Tesla Cybertruck, which has apparently been registered.
Teslarati reports that a Tesla Cybertruck was seen with a license plate in China's Tianjin municipality on Friday, sparking widespread debate about the EV's registration possibilities in the country. A video posted by X user GearMusk shows a Cybertruck visibly passing a driver while a license plate is visible on the truck's rear.
The type of license plate this Cybertruck has or whether it heralds the eventual registration of a larger variety of vehicles in China remains unclear as of this writing.
Safety Rules May Challenge Cybertruck Registration
There has been a lot of talk about how passenger safety rules would make it impossible to register the Tesla Cybertruck in China and other nations since the idea of it going to such countries first came up.
In January, Musk stated, "getting Cybertruck road legal in China would be very difficult, but we could ship some prototypes over for display." This was followed by the announcement of the Cybertruck tour.
Cybertruck Hits the Market Amid Legal Concerns
Although it appears to be challenging to register the Cybertruck in Europe and many regions of Asia, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, mentioned in June that more markets may be able to do so sometime next year, additionally, it appears that a few Cybertruck units have been registered in Europe in the past few weeks.
After Musk voiced his concerns about the truck's road legality in China in January, Tesla began its Cybertruck tour in China and continued to other Asian, European, and Middle Eastern countries.
The long-awaited Cybertruck finally hit the market in November of last year, and in the two months following, the electric vehicle surpassed all others in sales of $100,000 or more in the United States.
