A Tesla Cybertruck was seized by police in Greater Manchester due to safety issues and illegal registration
Greater Manchester: So, there was this wild incident with a Tesla Cybertruck in Whitefield. You know, that massive, boxy vehicle that looks like it rolled out of a sci-fi movie? Well, it caught the attention of the police.
Officers were out and about when they spotted this beast on the road. They had some serious worries about how safe it was for pedestrians and cyclists. I mean, can you imagine a collision with that thing? Yikes!
The Cybertruck is built tough, with this ultra-hard stainless-steel body that’s supposed to resist dents. But that’s not the point. It’s more than 18 feet long and weighs a ton! It’s just not designed for the streets of the UK.
Turns out, the driver was a permanent UK resident, but the vehicle was registered and insured abroad. That’s a big no-no over there. The police had to step in and seize the truck, citing safety concerns and illegal registration.
They even posted about it on Facebook, explaining that the Cybertruck doesn’t meet UK road safety standards. It’s a shame because it’s such a cool-looking vehicle, but safety comes first, right?
