GUTTED Premier League footballers are being thwarted in their attempts to buy Elon Musk’s £100,000 Tesla Cybertruck by UK road safety laws.

The stunning stainless steel car has become a favourite of US celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.

And now as many as 15 Prem stars have asked leading car dealership Premier Sports Solutions to see if they can get their hands on one.

However, many frustrated footballers have been left disappointed to find out they don’t meet UK safety standards.

UK regulations include strict demands on pedestrian safety.

These include requirements for crumple zones, a limit on front-end extension beyond the front axle, and prohibitions on sharp, angular designs or protruding parts that could injure pedestrians.

Unfortunately for potential customers in Britain, the design of the Tesla Cybertruck features a protruding flat front, as well as various sharp angles, meaning it fails to meet the criteria.

Another stumbling block is the Cybertruck’s gargantuan size.

In the US, where driving safety standards are more relaxed, it is classified as a light-duty truck.

But in the UK and Europe, regulations are a lot stricter.

A Category C1 driving licence is required for vehicles with a maximum gross weight of 3,500 kg.

With the lightest model above that threshold, it would be an unlikely UK drivers would get a C1 licence to drive a Cybertruck.

Richard Clark, founder and CEO of Premier Sports Solutions, told SunSport: “I’d love to be able to sell Cybertrucks, and they’re very desirable, but I can’t.

“We’ve had between 10-15 Premier League players who have asked about them.

“However, you are not allowed to have them on our UK roads because they haven’t passed the crash test here. It’s a big no, unfortunately.

“If someone wants one, they’ll only be able to loo

Clark added: “In the US the roads are a lot wider and the cars are much bigger. Take a Cadillac Escalade, for example. The bonnet is twice the size of a Range Rover’s.

“We do a lot of American cars, a lot of Escalades. A lot of footballers who come over from different countries still want left-hand drive motors, which we import over.

“Cybertrucks, though, are a non-starter over here.”

In America, Cybertrucks have taken off with the NFL’s biggest stars.

Some, including New York Giants linebacker Isiah Simmons, have customised their cars with incredible wraps,

And it’s not just sports stars who are smitten with Tesla Cybertrucks.

Music stars including Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams and Lady Gaga are all said to have one in their garage.

Serena Williams was also spotted with her husband Alexis Ohanian behind the wheel of a flashy Tesla Cybertruck leaving a party in Miami.

Back in August, Vladimir Putin’s attack dog Ramzan Kadyrov flaunted a new Tesla Cybertruck which he claims to have received from Elon Musk.

The Chechen warlord modified his, attaching a massive machine gun to the back and pledged to send it to the frontline in Ukraine.
