Elon Musk: It is difficult for the Tesla Cybertruck to be legally on the road in China
Fast Technology reported on January 14 that recently, Tesla is preparing for the Cybertruck electric pickup, and the topic of its domestic debut in the first quarter has aroused heated discussions among netizens.
Some netizens posted on social media that Tesla's Cybertruck will be unveiled in China's showroom, which will attract many consumers to visit the actual car.
In response, Musk said that it would be very difficult to get the Cybertruck legal on the road in China, but we could ship some models for static display.
It is reported that some EU automotive experts said that the EU's latest automotive safety standards require that the bumper and hood of the vehicle must be able to absorb energy to protect pedestrians.
But for the Tesla Cybertruck, its stainless steel body and near-right-angled front shape may not meet the requirements to protect pedestrians.
China's C-NCAP, China Insurance Research Institute and other institutions have also put forward strict standards for the pedestrian protection function of vehicles, and it is difficult for Cybertruck to meet the safety requirements of the regulations on this project.
In addition, China's current pickup truck models belong to the category of trucks, and if Tesla's electric Cybertruck pickup truck can only be scrapped for 15 years like domestic pickups, the price of its vehicles will be even less advantageous. ‘’
