Many jurisdictions in the US have safety regulations specifically around steering. In some jurisdictions it's illegal to drive a car on public roads with steering that has no mechanical connection to the steering wheel. Some areas have a minimum steering wheel diameter that's larger than the cybertruck steering wheel's minor diameter. Some areas have laws requiring a minimum (multiple...) number of turns lock-to-lock. Many areas require your steering to be operable in the event of power loss (I'd bet that everyone on or near a road would like that too). DMV's and police agencies sometimes regulate what they independently perceive as safety problems regardless of law, if someone with the means to declare internal policy gets the urge.

And that's for all cars operating on public roads, not just registered, in an area. It might be legal to drive a cybertruck where one lives, but not in a neighboring city or state. Moving fast and ignoring regulations on Tesla's part only works for their customers until regulatory agencies encounter a reason to pay attention.
