Tesla's Cybertruck is not permitted on British roads and police said there were "legitimate concerns" for the safety of other road users.

Tesla is declaring the Cybertruck to be “America’s bestselling electric pickup truck in 2024.” And yet for the first time, the company offering discounts of up to $2,600 on the low-poly truck, a sign that demand may not be as strong as Tesla would like you to think.

The angular, divisive electric pickup truck didn't sell as well as some Wall Street analysts expected in 2024.

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.

The vehicle closely resembles the real cybertruck, but a side view quickly reveals it’s a replica and not a Tesla creation.

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.
