For it to be sold in Europe doesn't it also have to comply with European laws? Would Tesla create a second version of the truck for Europe?


> Would Tesla create a second version of the truck for Europe?

I don't think I've ever actually seen what Americans call a 'truck' on a street in Europe.

(Slight exaggeration, but not really.)


Some Dodge Rams and Ford pickups in Finland. They barely fit in parking lots and are ridiculously huge and polluting.


Not a whole lot but you do see them. Naturally, nobody ever uses it for working neither catched one ever hauling a payload. But they do look really great.

It's like somebody else already said, it's just too big to park. Subterranean parkings that are the norm in European cities are pretty much impossible with them.


I've seen a F150 once in my life, and that's pretty much the only pickup truck I've ever seen (Bordeaux, France).


You can see odd Toyota Hilux (I think that counts?) now and then.


Should be, those Toyota Hilux trucks found plenty of use in real situations, e.g. war in Syria [0].

Or the so called Toyota War in Chad in the 80s.


I think you might see some in the countryside, so not exactly in the streets. But I've only seen one myself.


There's a Dodge Ram parked outside my door (Paris). It only moves on the weekend...


Parking in traditional Paris-style by making the slots larger himself?
