    How did the vehicle get into the UK if it is illegal? Surely it would have been stopped at the border or customs.

      It’s not road legal, but you can own one. If it came in on the back of a lorry, with the right paperwork, there would be no reason to stop it.

          Yeah, but do they check the vehicles too or just the occupants and what’s in the vehicle? I’ve never actually used either so not sure how it works.

            If you rock up to border control in a Cybertruck truck any half decent agent will have alarm bells going off in their mind and most likely will stop you. I think a lot of people know the Cybertruck is an illegal vehicle in the UK.

            Furthermore, once you reach the other side you would be driving an illegal vehicle instantly. I’d say on the ferry you have pretty much no chance of getting past border control as the UK border control is actually in the UK. However, the channel tunnel the border control is in France so if you get passed that somehow and onto the train you are free.
