At the current rate of horrible fiery deaths, FuelArc projects the Cybertruck will have 14.52 fatalities per 100,000 units — far eclipsing the Pinto's 0.85. (In absolute terms, FuelArc found, 27 Pinto drivers died in fires, while five Cybertruck drivers have suffered the same fate, at least so far.)

They don't have to explicitly ban the Cybertruck if it doesn't pass the existing regulations. It's not legal to drive in UK/EU. You could buy one for display-only or something I'm sure.
