The Tesla Cybertruck will still not be marketed in Europe

Will the Cybertruck conquer Europe as it passes through? The electric pickup is certainly causing a stir with its unusual design, but what about marketing? 

While some were hoping for an imminent arrival on the European market, the reality is more nuanced!

In fact, marketing on the Old Continent is hampered by safety issues and compliance with European European standards.

A gauge not approved for European roads, particularly in France

Initially, the Cybertruck is designed designed specifically for American roads. With its impressive dimensions (5.8 meters in length, 2 meters in width and 1.9 meters in height), it could encounter difficulties difficulties navigating European roadsless suitable than those of the United States.

Secondly, its angular lines and very rigid bodywork do not comply with European safety standards.. Indeed, the EU requires a minimum curvature of the bodywork, which the thin 1.4-mm steel sheet used for the Cybertruck cannot provide.

In the third stage, the Cybertruck is fitted with steel steel armorenabling it to withstand small-calibre bullets.. This feature could prove problematic in Europe, where safety standards are extremely rigorous.

The Cybertruck would probably not benefit from the ecological bonus

In addition to the fact that this electric vehicle is not type-approved environmental score would be unfavorablegiven that the Cybertruck weighs 3.1 tonnes.

Closely related to the same subject, the the price of this electric pick-up is less attractive than expectedranging from $39,900 to $69,000 depending on powertrain, placing the vehicle in the premium category. As a result, it would be unlikely to benefit from subsidies such as the ecological bonus.

What's more, its limited production at the Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, automatically classifies it as "assembled outside the European Union".

Recall carried out on approximately 4,000 copies

Revealed in 2019, the Tesla Cybertruck only began to be marketed in North America at the end of November 2023, almost 2 years after the planned date. Its reputation has recently been tarnished by reliability problems.

Indeed, the original owners had reported : 

  • traces of rust on the bodywork, 
  • and a faulty entertainment system that had to be updated shortly after launch.

But that's not all: in April 2024, the Californian company had to recall almost 3,900 units due to a a faulty accelerator pedal that could get stuck..

Worrying crash-test results

In addition, crash-test results proved critical, as its excessive rigidity excessive rigidity prevents any deformation during collisionsThis means that the occupants are thrown violently into the interior. This point is at odds with European standards, which favor deformable zones for effective impact absorption.

Conclusion

The Tesla Cybertruck intends to leave an indelible mark in its European wake. Its tour will enable many enthusiasts to get up close and personal with this unusual electric pickup, and to form their own opinion of this avant-garde electric vehicle.

And you, will you discover the Cybertruck on this occasion?
