Tesla Cybertruck Drives on Dutch Highway with Legal Loophole Discovered by Rapper Kosso

lanaken - Despite not being allowed to be registered in Flanders, Tesla's Cybertruck is already roaming around Limburg in the Netherlands.

The Tesla cost him 189,000 euros. The Cyberbeast model, made of ultra-hard 30X stainless steel and bulletproof, is actually not permitted on Dutch public roads. The weight of the car is also too heavy for a regular driver's license.

In October, a man from Groot-Bijgaarden purchased the first Cybertruck in Flanders, but quickly sold it off. Since the vehicle is not homologated for the European market, it cannot be registered in Flanders. 'At the moment, the Tesla Cybertruck is not allowed to drive on public roads in Flanders,' said Flemish Minister of Mobility Annick De Ridder (N-VA).

However, Dutch rapper and entrepreneur Albert Dervishaj found a legal loophole. He managed to register his car in Albania, making it now legally drivable in Limburg. Pictures of the Cybertruck with Albanian license plates on Dutch soil were soon shared in the 'Je bent van Lanaken' Facebook group.

Kosso's Cybertruck is not the first in Europe. Last summer, an individual approval for the vehicle was granted in the Czech Republic, requiring rubber strips to be added to the sharp edges of the car. In Albania, Kosso obtained a similar individual approval, a clever trick used in the past to bring heavy American pick-up trucks into Europe.

During the summer, the European Transport Safety Council issued an open letter urging the EU to swiftly close this loophole. 'If not addressed, this could mark the beginning of massive importing of Cybertrucks in Europe.'

Kosso, whose real name is Albert Dervishaj, remains unfazed, although he currently seems to have little enjoyment from the car. 'I find the car ugly as sin, but I'm doing it for the marketing,' he stated on his social media.
