So, he got a Cybertruck ?
Does his licence cover driving a 3.5t unladen weight vehicle? A standard UK licence wouldn't. Which is part of the reason they don't sell at all here. (Plus illegal lighting, pedestrian-hostile bodywork and who knows what else.)
@WellsiteGeo Is he even fit to drive any car? Anyway, he got a Model S, he has people driving him, and it was just for the show. @georgetakei
@WellsiteGeo @georgetakei TBH, a CyberTruck is on the flimsy side compared to The Beast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_state_car_(United_States)
Yeah. But the "Beast" is a one-off (or *very* limited-run) machine, not in any sense, a 'production' model. Compare, for example, a travelling fairground attraction vehicle (what "Q" registrations were intended for) to the 437th road roller off the line.
(I had friends, pre-Battle of the Beanfield, who had Q-plate bus-derived homes. Close to the law's cliffs.)

Also : recent footage of a burned-out Cybertruck dealership in (?) Seattle suggests the stainless steel sheet is a thin veneer over plastic.
Still pedestrian-hostile.
But they (@TSLA) choose the bullets it is "proof" against. The SS (US Secret, not Waffen-) don't get to pick the bullets they have to consider.
US driving licence in most states is similar to the old UK driving licence which allowed driving vehicles to 7 500 kg (in fact Americans are often allowed even bigger vehicles, and only need a CDL (commercial driving licence) if they are doing so as a main part of their job)
