In an unprecedented move, governments around the world have announced official bans on Tesla’s controversial electric vehicle, the Cybertruck. The measure, effective immediately, has rocked the automotive industry and left millions of car owners in trouble.
Officials justified their decision with safety concerns and the Cybertruck’s inferior construction. “The vehicle’s structure poses a danger to pedestrians and other drivers,” said a European Union spokesperson. “Furthermore, tests show that the stainless steel body can cause greater damage in the event of a collision.”
There were mixed reactions worldwide: some supporters of the technology defended Tesla, while others welcomed the decision as a necessary step for road safety.
Elon Musk, known for his quick and often provocative answers, responded to the news on X (formerly Twitter) with just four words: “This is a mistake.”
The impact of this decision is still uncertain, but experts believe Tesla could take legal action or change the design of the Cybertruck to comply with the new regulations. Meanwhile, current owners are wondering what to do with their now-banned vehicles.
It remains to be seen whether this decision means the end for the Cybertruck or whether Musk will find a way to turn the tables.
