      There’s a number if reasons why it won’t.

      • too heavy. It requires a C1 license, which is basically what you need to drive a full-size truck, which very few people have.

      • too pointy. Safety requirements require all protruding parts to have something like a 4mm rounding, but the dumpstertruck simply has bare, unrounded steel plates.

      • basically nobody drives a pick up, because they’re a stupid way to do anything.

      • Europe mandates a CCS2 connector, which isn’t even an option on the Tesla truck right now.

      And of course, Europe DOES mandate crash testing, which it will never pass. It also requires pedestratian safety, which it will also never pass.

        Yes but they are unfortunately becoming more common

        True, but that’s irrelevant since Tesla models have the CCS2 connector. Having to switch the connector is not a problem for them.

        Obligatory: Yes the car, Tesla, Elon is bad.

        I mean it positively - I see more and more of these American “compensatiors” on roads.

        As a cyclist it is worrying and I know few people who use “trucks” for work and noons of them would consider anything bigger than Hylux.
