    Can’t have a 3,500 lb payload with a 6,000 lb GVWR, and Elon said the Cybertruck could carry up to 3,500 lbs.

    In Europe, even if you obtain a special drivers licence due to it being heavier than 3500 kg, it’s hugely impractical due to its dimensions;

    Length	5885 mm
Width	2027 mm
Height	1905 mm
    • The length exceeds that of most parking lots; 5500 mm.
    • The width just exceeds 2000mm, which is a constraint on certain stretches of highways.
    • The height just exceeds 1900 mm, which is the maximum height in many parking garages.

    It’s almost intentional.

    I don’t know why I keep reading comments in here that it’s comparable to a lightning. Lightning weighs 6000-6500 lbs depending on the battery. That doesn’t seem close to Tesla 8000 lbs
