Tesla's futuristic Cybertruck made a striking debut at Berlin's Mall of Berlin, marking the launch of its European tour. The event, part of the 'Cyber Odyssey,' precedes the electric pickup's journey through 24 cities as Tesla intensifies its global showcase.
European Debut and Global Tour: Tesla Cybertruck Makes Waves at Mall of Berlin
On May 4, Tesla posted photographs of the Cybertruck demonstration at the Mall of Berlin to its Europe and Middle East X page. In the photos, people are gathered around the Cybertruck, with others taking photographs of the model on exhibit.
According to Teslarati, the display in Berlin follows its previous appearance at Tesla's adjacent Gigafactory in Grünheide, where it was rumored in February that the company would bring the Cybertruck to Germany and possibly Europe.
It's also part of a broader Cybertruck display tour across Europe called the "Cyber Odyssey," which the business announced last week. According to a LinkedIn post, the Cybertruck has also arrived in Oslo, Norway, and the business mentions other areas where the vehicle has recently been on show, including Tesla Park Royal in London, United Kingdom.
Here's a complete list of Tesla's "Cybertruck Odyssey" events around Europe and the Middle East, many of which are scheduled for this month.
Tesla began showcasing the Cybertruck throughout China in late January, followed by appearances in Japan. It has also been displayed in several of its stores and other public places in the United States and Canada, and it will soon be on display in Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand.
Production of the Cybertruck is ramping up at Tesla's U.S. Gigafactory in Austin, Texas. After initial deliveries in November, the company expects volume production to take 12 to 18 months.
Tesla's 'Cyber Odyssey' Expands: 24 European Cities Await the Cybertruck Phenomenon
Tesla has announced the next leg of its Cybertruck tour around the world. The unique electric pickup is now set to visit 24 European cities.
On May 5, Tesla's Europe and Middle East account shared a teaser video detailing the Cybertruck Euro tour on X, which will hit cities across Germany, Italy, Spain, England, and more. Dubbed the "Cyber Odyssey" in the video, the announcement also follows the company's recent Cybertruck displays across China, Japan, Thailand, and Germany at the Tesla Gigafactory outside of Berlin.
The list of cities the Cybertruck tour is expected to hit below, along with the teaser video from Tesla's Europe and Middle East account on X.
- London, England
- Manchester, England
- Berlin, Germany
- Hamburg, Germany
- Madrid, Spain
- Barcelona, Spain
- Budapest, Hungary
- Venice, Italy
- Milan, Italy
- Rome, Italy
- Warsaw, Poland
- Paris, France
- Vienna, Austria
- Prague, Czech Republic
- Lisbon, Portugal
- Istanbul, Turkey
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Oslo, Norway
- Copenhagen, Denmark
- Stockholm, Sweden
While it was speculated months ago that Tesla would bring the Cybertruck to various areas in Europe, this is the first time the firm has officially revealed such plans, except for the recent Giga Berlin visit. The development coincides with Tesla's plans to deliver the car displays to Australia and New Zealand.
Whether Tesla intends to bring the Cybertruck to most of these regions needs to be clarified since rules for passenger safety standards can vary significantly from country to country. For example, CEO Elon Musk indicated that obtaining the Cybertruck road-legal in China would be "very difficult." However, he agreed to send over some Cybertruck "prototypes," formally launching the first showcase tour.
As another example, Tesla Vice President of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy has stated that most European countries' pedestrian safety rules would not allow for the Cybertruck's dramatic protrusions.
Furthermore, Tesla VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy pointed out a few months ago that the truck's stainless steel protrusion could be a barrier to selling the vehicle in Europe. When asked why he didn't expect the car to reach these nations, he cited more robust pedestrian safety requirements and the truck market's significance in the United States.
"One, the truck market in the U.S. is huge and two, European regulations call for a 3.2mm external radius on external projections," Moravy said in an interview with Top Gear. "Unfortunately, it's impossible to make a 3.2mm radius on a 1.4mm sheet of stainless steel."
