It isn't the same one - Yianni's isn't wrapped (odd when he runs a wrapping business).
Yianni also posted a video two days ago of touring the UK in his

He can only claim to be the second person in the UK to get his Cybertruck seized at best. Bad for clicks. Hasn't been seized so far as I am aware. Yet...
ETA: just to make it clear - I don't watch Yianni, but I googled to see whether it was his and found the video.
The thumbnail on Yianni's vid appears to show the same wrapped vehicle, but who knows.

I thought Yianni had 2 for some reason? Did I dream that?

Yianni is aware of the black one, but it's not his.
A bit rich to say X is full of crybabies when he's probably shitting his breeches at the thought of his clickbait being towed, given he's been crowing about driving it around illegally etc.
He really isn't the sharpest knife in the rack.

Just my gut feeling but I reckon he's imported all of them, they're all Albanian registered and if their plate system is anything like ours they all seem to be registered at the same location.
What are the chances he's been telling Cybertruck customers that he can IVA them as he's been doing quite extensive work on trying to make his one road legal?

He's just cementing my opinion of both him and the Cybertruck. I bet he's driving his around in the same way. Hope the police make their enquiries and find out!

But still a massive c*** for driving around on public roads in a non IVA'd or type approved car.

That. Can you even insure a non IVA'd vehicle that doesn't have any cert of conformity to UK regs?

I was going to say, I'm assuming they aren't paying tax or insurance here?

How would you pay for road tax in the UK when it's registered to Albania. Impossible.

Is he not just being cheeky with the rules ?
What about all those American trucks about with magnet rear fog lights and other such things ?
I’d be very surprised if it was completely taking the mickey and any foreign vehicle was never allowed to holiday in the U.K. if it didn’t meet approval.
Dave!

You can only drive a foreign registered car here for 6 months a year.
What could possibly go wrong with an untested vehicle that weighs 3 tonnes and will burn forever at the slightest opportunity. We should have more of them here.

Apparently that 6 month rule is only for non uk residents if I’m reading it correctly!

Exactly. A UK resident can't drive a foreign registered and insured car here.

Oh the fewer Cybertrucks that exist the better but I don’t think it’s much worse than what many do.
Although it did make me check the weight of an F250 Powerstroke long bed and it’s surprisingly light at 2.3 tons

It's those fucking sharp edges that do it for me. One of those hitting a pedestrian would be fatal. Someone said ' it's the bully XL' of the car world. Fully agree

LOL. """Just asking questions""" which he very likely already knows the answers to, but made videos of himself driving it on the public road anyway. Gotta get those ad impressions...and changed the thumbnail to be of the car pulled today, apparently.

It may have insurance. Just Albanian insurance. Belonging to a third party Albanian national
“ Airfreighted from the US to Italy, shipped to Albania, and then driven to the UK with Albanian plates by an Albanian national on Albanian insurance, the foundation-series Cybertruck was acquired by Charalambous last month.”
