It had to be wrapped so that the SS foil didn’t rust off during the cruise across the pond!
Oh man, and after he paid $$$$$$$$$ for a black wrap, the wonky light bar for a vehicle he’ll never take offroad, and it even says “cyberbeast” on the front!!!!
I bet he called the truck “Black Pudding” (It’s a Bury thing).
only muppets own these things and we’d rather not have them driving around in 3 tonne biffa bins on tiny roads
If that was insured in the U.S. and got in an accident, there’s absolutely no chance US insurance would have paid for it.
I wonder what possibly could have signaled to the coppers that this was an illegal non-conforming vehicle?
i wonder if anyone tried to keep track of how many have been destroyed one way or the other
survival rates are not good lol imagine trying to get insurance
Guess this guy really **was** moving to the UK, forcing him to sell his beloved truck. Nobody was buying so he took his chances.
Isn’t this the one Yianni was boasting about recently about it being the second Cybertruck in the UK (after his?). Sure the comments said it was on Albanian plates or something.
If so.. that lasted long. Gutted
…and a smaller less technical post.
As per the second paragraph this story isn’t about road legality etc. The car is insured and registered abroad while the operator is permanently resident in the UK. That’s an offence in itself even if you have a totally normal boring road legal car. You can drive a vehicle registered and insured abroad here but only if you are a visitor yourself. Otherwise you have to formally import it, pay taxes, get it registered etc.

If they call a trunk a boot, do they call the frunk the froot?
Repurpose it into a bus stop.
I didn’t know the Cyber truck wasn’t street legal in the UK. That’s pretty interesting. Does anyone know why?
“Seized” by the government though! Not coming back haha!
I wish these turds were not allowed on our roads
Do people not do extensive research to make sure an imported car is street legal before they go ahead and do it or what?
Haha
You would think I could get used to seeing these things but they just hit the eye like a baseball bat made of razor blades every single time.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Still love the truck though
Pretty sure it’s this guy’s
I believe it’s the only CT in the UK.

Better!
I guess they’re not going to Beat the Crusher (which was a British game show where contestants tried to win prizes… by putting things like their car on the line)
I cannot fathom grey-market exporting a vehicle without consulting the appropriate authorities in the destination. Saw it the opposite way with Caterhams coming into Canada…didn’t check, so now your UK impulse purchase sits in a warehouse near Toronto airport until you, the purchaser, sorts it out with Federal and Provincial transport ministries.
Good. Burn the fuckin thing now
For some reason, I read the last word in the post as deported.
It will probably look better after being crushed
