Elon Musk told about this

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the Cybertruck electric pickup truck will be difficult to legally put on the road in China, but the company may provide a few vehicles for demonstration. He was answering a question whose author said he was a member of a Chinese fan group for Cybertruck, in which 500 people had pre-ordered.

The Tesla Cybertruck's choppy design has raised concerns among safety experts, who say the electric pickup truck's rigid, stainless steel body could harm pedestrians and cyclists, as well as damage other vehicles on the road.

Lars Moravi, Tesla's vice president of automotive manufacturing, previously confirmed to TopGear that the Cybertruck will never make it to Europe: “First of all, the pickup truck market in America is huge, but here you have it different. Secondly, European rules require a rounding of protruding parts by 3.2 millimeters. Unfortunately, it is impossible to make a 3.2 millimeter fillet on a 1.4 millimeter thick stainless steel plate.

This version will be released in 2025.

The all-wheel drive Cybertruck costs $79,990 with a range of 547 kilometers, and an optional Range Extension Package extends the range to more than 755 kilometers. Acceleration to "hundreds" takes 4.3 s.
