  • Sadly, they are. What you can purchase and what you can legally drive are governed by different rules. In the EU, a vehicle doesn’t necessarily need to have EU type approval to be imported and registered.

    That’s why you can, find non-EU-spec vehicles on European roads. For example, red rear indicators, even though EU-approved vehicles generally require amber indicators.

    The process is tedious, and there may be modifications involved, but nothing outright prevents you from getting a Cybertruck individually approved and driving it legally on EU roads. I know of 5 or so cases, where somebody jumped through those hoops.


  • Another thing I noticed is that the character is named Dilberg. That’s awfully close to Dilbert, and combined with the office setting it feels like it has to be a reference.

    I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be satire (because the Dilbert guy is a twat), an homage (because the author is a twat who likes another twat), or just a coincidence.

    It’s another point where the comic seems more confusing than communicative.



  • The case and especially the group look weird to me. This is supposed to be a extreme-left/anarchist/eco-terrorist group. It is supposed to be active since the 2010s.

    They were able to identify weakpoints in critical infrastructure multiple times now. So they must have a relatively large network. But officially nobody knows how big this group is or how they are organised. Nobody was able to catch any members.

    Their targets are really inconsistent. Research Facilities, factorys, car dealerships and, like in this case, critical infrastructure. They seem to have no specific target, just society as a whole.

    They have a volcano theme going. Nothing screams anarchism like volcanos on Iceland(?).

    But the police and secret services are convinced that this is a genuine group. That the manifests are genuine.

    This whole thing screams 90s movie eco-terrorist vibe, instead of a group organising around a specific goal. TBF there are people out there that have rage in them and they latch onto whatever ideology to justify living out that rage.

    But come on, they want to raise class awareness, by turning the power off in the middle of winter.
