Tesla Cybertruck in Wien: Kommt er jemals auf Europas Straßen? (2024)

FAQs

Is the Tesla Cybertruck allowed in Europe? ›

Tesla has not opened the Cybertruck orders book in Europe, but you can still buy one if you have enough money to burn. A Cybertruck AWD imported from the US is listed on a classifieds platform in Germany for half a million euros. The seller says the truck has undergone modifications and is now road-legal in Germany.

Tesla has revealed that pricing for the cheapest model of its much-hyped and long-delayed Cybertruck will start at $60,990, (€56,000) as the electric-car maker officially began the first deliveries of the futuristic-looking vehicle.

Tesla wants to show power, and the Cybertruck is such a project. But its sale continues to be on the vehicle lists in Germany, even though it cannot be bought. In Germany, it costs no less than 485 thousand euros. The price of the Cybertruck in the USA is about 100 thousand euros.

Right now, it is November 28, 2023, and there is about 200 cyber trucks driving all over America. I hear that Elon Musk as one in Austin Texas, and the truck designer lives in LA, CA, and he also has access to one. There are also a dozen or so running around the Freemont area, and some in Nevada too.

Weight worries

To drive a vehicle heavier than 3.5 tons in the EU, drivers must have a category C1 license — meaning that to drive a US-built Cybertruck on European roads, you may need to apply for a truck driver's license. Another obstacle is that the Cybertruck's charging port isn't compatible with European chargers.

Can all Tesla vehicle owners use the Supercharger network in Europe? Yes. The Supercharger network is available to all Tesla vehicle owners. All V3 Superchargers in Europe feature single-cable CCS technology that is compatible with every Model 3, Model Y and Model S or Model X vehicles built in May 2019 or later.

Tesla Cybertruck Rear-Wheel Drive - Price

The rear-wheel drive powertrain Tesla Cybertruck will be available at a purchase price of $60,990, before factoring in any incentives. Tesla says it won't go on sale until later, likely in 2025.

While the entry-level Tesla Cybertruck was supposed to cost $40,000 plus fees, it will now cost $61,240 (sans destination fee). Like the higher-trim variants, the base Cybertruck will offer air suspension, steer-by-wire functionality, ventilated seats, and a power front trunk.

How much does it typically cost to charge a Tesla in Germany? Electricity for charging is around €0.47 c/kWh. Station-based charging is up to 140% more expensive than home charging.

How Much Is a 2024 Tesla Cybertruck? An entry-level rear-wheel-drive model is set for availability for 2025, but for now, the base Cybertruck is the dual-motor All-Wheel Drive, which has a starting MSRP of $79,990. This 600-horsepower model has an estimated 340 miles of range and a top speed of 112 mph.

Is it rare to see a Cybertruck? ›

Look for “the impossible” to lead change in popular culture. Syd Mead, the artistic director behind Blade Runner (1982), watched the Nov 2019 Cybertruck unveiling and commented that Tesla's new Cybertruck “has completely changed the vocabulary of the personal truck market design.”

“In the UK, vehicles with a maximum gross vehicle weight (MGVW) of over 3.5 tonnes (7,700lbs) are required to have a Category C1 driving licence. We highly doubt many people in the UK are going to go out and pass their C1 category driving licence just to drive this thing.”

The Australian Design Rules define a light-commercial vehicle as a van, truck or utility with a GVM of up to 3500kg. So while the Cybertruck can be driven by anybody with a full licence in Australia, it's not categorised as a light-commercial vehicle.

FSD is not offered in Europe, but is available in the U.S. where Tesla's autonomous systems have been implicated in multiple accidents, some of them fatal.

In the European electric vehicle (EV) sector, 2023 has been marked by continued growth and significant market shifts, with Tesla maintaining its position as the continent's most popular EV brand, closely followed by a competitive field led by the Volkswagen Group as the top OEM.
