...and paper that says "Enjoy the rust, swasticar" on the windshield

Seen in Prague-Karlín, about 30 m away from that other mildly vandalized vehicle. Looking up the licence plate, the owner's full name seems to be Igor Norton Tesla Slovák and it's the first Cybertruck in the country, so he must have spent lots of money importing it and modding it (and bribing officials?) to pass registration.

Yes, Prague is inexplicably car-brained for how dense the public transport network is.

Phil Mason, aka Thunderf00t, is a US expat at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague and most of his last 80 videos are about criticizing Musk. I wonder if he ever encounters a Cybertruck (there have been multiple for quite a while) and films it up close, it would help if he stopped reusing footage so much.

I'm not sure it's necessary to add the owner's full name to the post, that might run afoul of the no doxxing rule.

It's proudly displayed on the vehicle, as well as various news sites where he gave interviews. He's considering himself a public figure so I wouldn't be concerned.

Fair enough, just didn't wanna see the post get pulled

If it's not legal to drive there can't you just call the cops and have them tow it?

It has a licence plate, which means it's registered. It's a custom one but an everyday (not a veteran or racing) one. The owner, Norton Igor Tesla Slovák, spent tens of thousands of dollars getting it customized (and likely bribing officials) to get it to pass standards. According to a news report, the major changes were slight curving at the sharp edges, fog light, amber rear turn signals, and a stamped-in VIN.

The European Council and local cycling clubs wrote to the Minister of Transport but he ignored their concerns.

There are some in Germany too -_-
Edit: for show only, unlike this one

Weird how these two nations accomodate cars so much despite all the public transit they already have (they rank #2 and #4 in the world by rail network density).

Czech & Germany both have a lot of car manufacturing going on too (like proper cars I mean), even if the culture is sadly slow to turn to public transport (heavy propaganda), they should be proud enough to (culturally) reject bad cars (especially expensive ones).

Funny how probably all Cybertrucks in this country are in Prague, the most liberal city (it probably helps that there are lots of chargers and EVs get free parking). I have seen another but I was too slow to get out my phone; it was carrying something like a grill as part of a restaurant's ad campaign I think. This water trolling and other shenanigans are bound to keep happening despite the owner displaying a surveillance warning on the dashboard.

As for public transport in the Czech Republic: Communists luckily kept most trams and regional rail operating, unlike most of the West. Many people could not afford cars and would use public transport because they had to. After privatization, cars became affordable but public transport would not start meaningfully improving until the mid-2000s. Now we have almost world-class transit again - most vehicles are comfortable, service is frequent and decently punctual, and the price lists make sense in almost all of the regional integrated systems (NOT YOU, IDSJMK) but the people (and lots of politicians) are slow to change.

Pics or it didn't happen. Pics of the thing being operated on the road. I don't want to believe. ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ

Yes, I've seen two reports with photos, but it's very important to note that they were not on regular license plates! Only some interim/test-drive plates.

I sure hope those oversized jrbrge bins don't spread.

I wouldn't piss on one if it were on fire. Seriously, it's dangerous to add water to a lithium fire.
