Is their an independent crash test in Germany for Porsche etc? Maybe they will test the Cyber truck.

Considering the Cybertruck probably won't ever be street legal in Europe, I don't think they'll bother.

Yep, no way this monstrosity will ever be allowed on German streets. The TÜV (Technical Inspection Association) is pretty strict in that regard.

You honestly think the EU would allow it if it wasn't?

I am not in the EU but a 5 second search leads to:

plus dozens of other links for the other models.

As others have said, the cyberwank fails in so many other areas it won't even get to the crash test stage as its design is so flawed.
