- The Tesla Cybertruck cannot be imported into Europe due to significant deviations from EU safety regulations.
- EU safety standards focus on protecting both vehicle occupants and vulnerable road users, which the Cybertruck fails to meet.
- The U.S. Army attempted to get an exemption for military personnel but was denied by the German Federal Ministry of Transport.
- The Cybertruck lacks EU type-approval due to its sharp-edged, stiff stainless-steel body and absence of required safety features.
- U.S. Army Customs Agency will not issue import certificates for Cybertrucks, and personnel importing them do so at their own risk.
- Tesla is unlikely to modify the Cybertruck for EU markets due to low demand, focusing instead on regions like South Korea and the UAE.
