The Tesla Cybertruck is coming to Europe – and we know exactly when and how much it will cost!

Tesla Cybertruck is it coming to Europe? And here we come to the juiciest point: If these rules apply to everyone, it means the Tesla Cybertruck could officially arrive in Europe – perhaps even this year.

Brussels opens the door to American giants – Is the Tesla Cybertruck coming to Europe?

The EU and the US issued a joint statement last week, to “adopt and mutually recognize automotive standards.” Conditioned by tariffs on EU vehicles in the US. For ETSC is this an alarm:

“Europe has waved the white flag with this. This is a political decision that prioritizes trade over saving lives,” is harsh Antonio Avenoso, CEO of ETSC.

Until now, American vehicles have mostly been blocked because they do not meet European safety requirements – from automatic emergency braking to pedestrian protection systemsBut the new agreement means: bureaucratic obstacles are eliminated.

Cybertruck: from render to reality in the EU

If the warnings have been largely theoretical until now, this story now has a face – or rather awkward metal edgesThe Cybertruck, Musk's famous electric pickup truck that looks like a cross between a tank and a space toaster, could finally get the right to drive in the EU with this agreement.

No, Tesla hasn't confirmed this (yet). But if the agreement applies to the Ford F-150, Dodge Ram, and other American giants, it also applies to the Cybertruck. Which means: the first registrations could be a reality this year.

Security against spectacle

ETSC raises a warning eyebrow: larger and heavier vehicles pose a greater risk to pedestrians and cyclists.

“American regulations do not require anything that is mandatory in Europe. If we open the doors to such vehicles, it will cost lives,” warns Avenosa.

But it will be hard to stop at reason with the Cybertruck – because it is the most viral vehicle of the last ten yearsFans will want it, neighbors will take pictures of it, and city planners will despair over parking lots that are already too small for European SUVs.

Tariffs down, American "monsters" up

The agreement also has a financial side: tariffs on cars are being lowered, EU manufacturers are getting easier access to the American market. But the price of the compromise is clear: American automotive giants will find their way to Europe more easily than ever. So without any compromises, including in the area of security.

Conclusion: will the Cybertruck really hit our roads?

If the new agreement is implemented without exceptions, the answer is: yes. Perhaps as early as this year.
The Cybertruck will go from being a YouTube meme to becoming a reality on the Ljubljana bypass - and from now on there will only be one dilemma: do you have a garage big enough for the future?

FAQ: Cybertruck in the EU

1. Will the Tesla Cybertruck really come to Europe?

Yes. If the recent EU-US trade deal goes into full effect, it will import of all American vehicles This means that the Cybertruck can also come to European roads. Tesla has not officially announced this, but the logic is clear: if the Ford F-150 can come, the Cybertruck can also come.

2. When can we expect it on our roads?

The first registrations could happen already at the end of 2025 or early 2026It depends on how quickly the agreement is implemented and how many enthusiasts will immediately jump at the first opportunity to buy.

3. Is the Cybertruck even small enough for European cities?

Haha, it depends on how you define “small.” 🤷
The Cybertruck measures almost six meters in length and has a width that will cause panic in many a Ljubljana garage. If you have a classic parking space in a block – prepare to make quite a close friendship with the walls.

4. Why is the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) warning against American vehicles?

Because American safety standards are significantly more “relaxed”. In the EU, mandatory systems such as:

• automatic emergency braking,
• lane keeping assist,
• pedestrian protection.

In the US, however, these are more of a “nice-to-have” than a necessary requirement. That’s why ETSC warns that more American vehicles will also mean more risk on the roads.

5. What do Brussels and the European Commission say?

The Commission ensures that EU safety standards are not subject to negotiationOfficially, they claim it's just an "administrative simplification." Critics, however, believe it's a relaxation of the rules that will open the door to large and dangerous vehicles.

6. Will the arrival of the Cybertruck affect European car brands?

Very likely. The Cybertruck is a meme, a status symbol, and a futuristic toy all at once. If it becomes available in Europe, SUV and electric pickup truck manufacturers will have to respond with their own designs. We expect more “square” and “hardcore” shapes in the coming years.

7. What about customs duties?

The agreement between the EU and the US foresees that Customs duties on cars reduced from 27.5 % to 15 %This means cheaper imports and greater competitiveness of American vehicles in our market.

8. What about sustainability and ecology?

The Cybertruck is electric, which is a plus. But its size and weight This means that despite the "green label", it is not exactly synonymous with sustainable mobility. ETSC warns: heavier vehicles are more dangerous for other road users.

9. Is it true that people compare it to a space toaster?

Yes. 🛸
And with the Batmobile. And with the armored car from Mad Max. The Cybertruck is visually everything that European car designers would never do – and that's exactly why he has so many followers.

10. Will it be possible to register it in Slovenia?

If the agreement is implemented without additional restrictions, then yes. Of course, we will have to wait until Tesla officially starts distribution for the EU market. Then – good luck finding a parking space in old Ljubljana.

👉 So: the cheapest Cybertruck in Europe would cost around €70,000, but only if it actually goes through European homologation and import without additional customs surprises.
