I only heard about this about the Cybertruck, it cant be sold in Europe as it apparently hasnt been independently tested, even if it had it would fail hard on pedestrian safety.
Quick google seems its not alone, from here:

"Among vehicles without ratings, a few—such as the BMW 7 Series and Lucid Air luxury sedans—have sales numbers well below 10,000 cars a year"
Interestingly the Lucid Air does have a 5* Euro NCAP safety rating despite only being sold in 4 European countries, they only shifted 156 last year ......... so 10,000 is still quite a lot, right?
