The first Tesla Cybertruck has become legal in Norway

That shouldn't really be possible. But now the first Tesla Cybertruck has been given Norwegian license plates. And it's completely legal.

The Tesla Cybertruck is too big a mouthful for Europe. At least when it comes to type approvals. But Norway, which is not a member of the EU, doesn't have to worry about that.

And perhaps that is why the first Norwegians have now succeeded in getting the first Tesla Cybertruck approved in the country.

This is what Finansavisen writes.

It is Norwegian Machinery that has both imported the car and had the Norwegian Public Roads Administration approve the car for use on Norwegian roads.

Something that has been in the works since November last year. However, it is only now that the approval has been received.

When the Cybertruck cannot be approved in Europe, it is partly because the car, with its sharp edges, does not meet European requirements for pedestrian protection in the event of a traffic accident.

According to Norwegian media, Per Eskeland, who is the general manager of the Norwegian car dealer, will not disclose how the Tesla was approved. He will only say that the story is good enough.

Due to the car's weight, it is currently only approved with three seats. At least on Norwegian roads. That said, several interested buyers have already signed up. Even though the price is approaching two million Norwegian kroner.

The price of 1.75 million Norwegian kroner corresponds to 1,100,000 Danish kroner. But there are already drivers who are willing to pay that.

– We already have an interested buyer for it. But as I said, it won't be the last, Eskeland smiles to Norwegian TV2.

Although the large pickup has already crept across Europe's borders and has been equipped with license plates in several countries, not everyone is equally enthusiastic.

Police in Manchester, England, seized another Tesla Cybertruck last week on the grounds that the car is not legal at all.
