Cybertruck driver pulled over, vehicle seized over safety concerns:
'An over-6,000-pound piece of steel'
....
....
The first area where it fails is its size. With a massive weight of
6,898 pounds (or nearly 3 tons) and a width of 7.2 feet, the vehicle
is too heavy and wide to drive safely on British roadways. (Anyone who
has driven in the U.K. will immediately recognize the concerns with
taking a Cybertruck to those roads.) 

The fact that Cybertrucks can go from 0 to 60 mph in only 2.6 seconds
raises another issue with safety authorities in the U.K.
