The owner of a seized Cybertruck in Greater Manchester can retrieve the vehicle, but it cannot be driven on public roads. Police deemed it "not road legal" due to safety concerns and lack of UK type approval. The Cybertruck, which has been in police custody since January, is now out of charge. The owner criticized police for not verifying insurance details more easily. Greater Manchester Police confirmed the owner has provided necessary documents for release. However, the vehicle must be transported by recovery truck to private land, as it cannot be driven legally in the UK.
