Only if it hits them, excellent for occupant safety, bomb and bullet proof.
My F150 Raptor is similar in size and passed the IVA test. I expect we will see Cybertrucks at some point in the UK

?!? Isn’t the “if” why we have all of the regulations and safety measures anyway?
I would well not see it in Europe let alone the UK without significant changes. They are not able to pass the safety regulations for pedestrian and cyclists/other road users in collision tests at present.
Size on our non-US size roads will be an issue too!

I parked the car in Greenwich today for 2 hours.
Cost was £7.50 per hour which seemed very expensive. Then once I paid via my phone I got a £5.25 per hour discount for being an EV.
So was only £2.25 per hour!
That must sting for traditional cars.

That's still a lot! I remember my Mum sucking in between her teeth when parking at the Kennet Centre in Newbury went up to 60p per hour...
I'm fortunate enough to have free parking (and EV charging) at our office in Derby, and there's plenty of free on-street parking close to where I work in Uttoxeter.

So screw everyone else is the general cybertruck theory ?
I really can't see them coming to the UK without huge changes. Especially not now Elon is Sieg Heiling left right and centre.
Its down to individuals to put the vehicle through an IVA. If the modifications meet with approval, I could many hundreds if not thousands of them coming- if UK owners can actually get hold of a Cybertruck
I personally prefer the F150 lightning or Rivian RT

He's already said it won't be made available to drivers in the UK.
That doesn't stop individuals buying one in the USA and shipping it across. I did the same with my F150 Raptor. I believe from reports UK is the third largest in actual demand behind north America and Australia for the cybertruck

None legally.
"The one directive preventing Tesla from bringing the Cybertruck to the country is the law that bans the sale of passenger vehicles that "exhibit sharp external projections." The existence of this law was revealed by none other than Tesla's VP of Vehicle engineering, Lars Maravy."

True, but with suitable modification, it may be possible to get it through IVA

Neither cheap nor easy to try, and no guarantee of passing either.
“Suitable” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there 🤣
