it home reported on september 12 that tesla ceo elon musk hinted in a reply to netizens on x that the company may develop a brand new cybertruck for the international market to meet global demand for electric pickup trucks.

it home noted that cybertruck will be first launched in the united states in 2023, and tesla delivered the model to the first customers in november. however, despite cybertruck's various tours in asia and europe, tesla has not announced specific plans to introduce the model to other markets.

there has been a lot of discussion about whether the cybertruck is suitable for the narrow streets of europe and asia. last december, lars moravy, tesla's vice president of vehicle engineering, said in an interview with topgear that the pickup truck would not enter the european market: "first, the pickup truck market in the united states is very large, which is different from europe. secondly, european regulations require that the corner radius of the protrusion be 3.2 mm, and it is impossible to make a 3.2 mm rounded corner on a 1.4 mm stainless steel plate."

this means that the international version of cybertruck may need to be adjusted in size, design, etc. to better adapt to the road environment in different regions and meet local regulations.

it is worth noting that there have been cases in the market where some consumers have introduced cybertruck to europe and other regions through unofficial channels, which shows that the global attention to this unique electric pickup truck cannot be underestimated.
