Cybertruck emerged as the bestselling electric pickup in the U.S. over Q2 2024 as production ramped up and the company focused on fulfilling the backlog of orders.

As for the confiscated pickup, reportedly, the police department noted that, “The Tesla Cybertruck is not road-legal in the UK and does not hold a certificate of conformity.” In short, the vehicle has not passed safety tests to be legal in the country, undoubtedly a bummer for the owner and anyone else who want to drive a Cybertruck in the UK.

Tesla is offering discounts on its Cybertruck electric vehicle following a report that production has slowed at Tesla's factory. The latest model Cybertrucks feature price cuts of up to $1,600, bringing the total to $72,890, with as much as $3,410 off for demo units (for a total of $74,030), as listed on its website.

Slowing sales of Tesla’s Cybertruck are pushing the automaker to reposition its workforce and change its pricing strategies.
