The angular, divisive electric pickup truck didn't sell as well as some Wall Street analysts expected in 2024.

A striking Tesla Cybertruck which is illegal to drive in the UK due to safety concerns has been seized by police in Greater Manchester. Officers spotted the eye-catching vehicle, which carries a price tag of about £48,000, in Whitefield, Bury, and stopped the driver on Thursday night.

Tesla is offering discounts on its Cybertruck electric vehicle following a report that production has slowed at Tesla's factory. The latest model Cybertrucks feature price cuts of up to $1,600, bringing the total to $72,890, with as much as $3,410 off for demo units (for a total of $74,030), as listed on its website.

I think the Cybertruck can be officially considered a flop now,” Karl Brauer, an analyst at iSeeCars told Automotive News. “Remember, this was going to be Tesla’s F-150.

Starting this week, the electric vehicle manufacturer has lowered the price of new Cybertrucks by as much as $1,600, though the discount depends on configuration. If you don’t need an absolutely, 100 percent new vehicle, you can get up to $2,600 off the price if you opt for a demonstrator model, an easy way to save another $1,000.

The Tesla Cybertruck is illegal to drive on UK roads, Bury Police force pointed out, and the seized vehicle had been registered and insured abroad.

Bury Police in Greater Manchester confirmed that it has taken possession of a Tesla Cybertruck that was previously registered and imported from the U.S, under Section 165 of the Road Traffic Act. The law allows the authorities to seize a vehicle if legal documentation and/or proof of ownership cannot be provided.

Tesla is offering price reductions of up to $2,600 on the Cybertruck for the first time.
