    Besides the obvious fact these trucks are too huge for European roads and parking spaces, America vehicles are simply hot garbage.

      The Japanese and Korean vehicles for the American market aren’t any better to be fair.

      Only some places in Europe have roads too small to accomodate them, but regardless, these vehicles are stupid everywhere

      And Canada. They’re everywhere here. Idiots only using them to commute to work every day.

      “But I need it” Fuck off.

        And Greenland. America as in North America and South America. Also do Afro-Eurasia and Oceania please. Don’t forget Antarctica.

      It won’t because its exterior has too many sharp edges to be street legal. It will never be allowed in europe, not without a whole bunch of laws beeing changed.

          Every time I see one turning or handling a slope it looks like the handling is traaaaaaash.

          I will say that the wheels and tires actually look cool. On a different vehicle those could be very stylish for a city truck someone in Ft Worth or Atlanta might have.

          I have a oddly hard time spotting Cybertrucks in the wild, I think it’s my brain trying to spare me the psychic damage of seeing such an ugly vehicle.

        I suppose they could stick a bunch of goofy bumpers on it like the US compliant Countach. It might be the only way to make them uglier.

    Help how? I would love nothing more if I never had to see one again but I can hardly prohibit others from having one

      you can make sure that you treat the owners like the selfish assholes they are, though

      might influence some of them, at the least it’s definitely better than nothing

        They know they’re selfish, in fact to them selfishness is a virtue. So no, it won’t help at all.

    Some wealthy idiots in Europe will buy a handful of US pick-up trucks. The normal European would not waste their money on the insurance, emission taxes, fuel cost, and maintenance for that junk. Good luck parking it too. I always laughed when I saw a RAM on the Autobahn with the “AF” plates. Aral (Petrol Stations) were delighted when they had to fill it up off base.

    There should be a system in place where, while not banned outright, private ownership of these trucks is dissuaded and favor is granted to commercial contractors. I don’t know how such a system would be implemented but it would ensure that these behemoths stay off city streets. The obvious solution is to design streets that prioritize pedestrians and cyclists first, small cars second and commercial vehicles third but only if they’re actively used in commercial labor.
