We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

They're not, in Europe. Lucky bastards.
Sadly, they are. What you can purchase and what you can legally drive are governed by different rules. In the EU, a vehicle doesn't necessarily need to have EU type approval to be imported and registered.
That's why you can, find non-EU-spec vehicles on European roads. For example, red rear indicators, even though EU-approved vehicles generally require amber indicators.
The process is tedious, and there may be modifications involved, but nothing outright prevents you from getting a Cybertruck individually approved and driving it legally on EU roads. I know of 5 or so cases, where somebody jumped through those hoops.
Oh so thats why I havent seen these things! I was just hoping my countrymen had taste.
I wish all of us had taste, RAMs and DODGEs even existing on our roads proves otherwise, those blowhards would buy a cybertruck too if they could
