I wonder whether nore stringent pedestrian safety compliance requirements may have come into play. When I first saw that thing, that was the first thought that popped into my head.

There's some Swiss dudes claiming they're going to make the C**Truck road legal in the EU: https://werk-lab.ch/en/cybertruck . Although I'm not sure if it's just crowdsourced moneygrab or legit.

In any case the website says the steps "Familiarization with all legal requirements that apply in Switzerland and the EU for approval" and "Consultations with the Road Traffic Office and test centers to define the testing requirements".

I'm guessing the familiarization and consultation steps would've revealed to them that "Yeah, nah, this isn't going to happen..."

I don't know about Switzerland but the rules are often looser for experimental or self built vehicles.

Maybe it’s actually an attractive proposition now that they’ve all depreciated a ton in value?

Hopefully, but seeing some of the other American "trucks" hitting our pedestrians, sorry I mean hitting our roads, I wonder if anyone is really keeping that in check.
