The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Jim, I recall at the introduction of the original Tesla your mentioning they probably would be too wide for Monaco’s streets. It follows then you won’t find many Cybertrucks in your neck of the woods.

My understanding is that they can never be sold in the EU market. Meeting the safety requirements would require so many changes that it would be a completely different vehicle, stemming mainly from the pedestrian safety issues. The one I saw recently was on a visit to Seattle.

I did see a Tesla Model X in Italy not long ago, in a parking lot. It was taking up not 1, not 2, not 3, but an impressive 4 parking spots. It was too wide for a single spot, no surprise, but too long as well so the whole front end also had to be pulled forward into the two facing spots, blocking them.

Jim
