The maximum gross weight allowed for a “car“ driver license is 3500kg.
The cybertruck has a gross weight of 4300kg, which highly exceeds the 3500kg
In my country, for electric cars, they raised limit (gross/max. weight) to 4250 kg. Probably by the car lobby.
According to the specs, the AWD trim has max. weight of 4238 kg.
So, no problem with the standard drivers license.
If only ~~Cyber~~Uglytruck gets the EU approval.
Also because, otherwise, electric workvans are impossible
