Also curious about IIHS results. Barely any crumple zone visible in that YouTube video crash test and it does appear to use the opponent car as crumple zone instead…

Gentlemen. Please relax, and let Tesla go about it's business of bringing the Cybertruck to market. Will take a while for them to ramp up production, so probably new vehicles will be rolling out in dribs and drabs.
Like most Tesla vehicles, it will continue to evolve, and find it's market. Pricing is well in line with other similarly capable trucks. It is not the screeming value that people hoped, but I imaging that for some time, Tesla will be able to deliver every one they can put together.
Many of the current launch specifications will evolve over time. Tesla is hard at work, producing what they can and continuing to innovate and iterate to make the Truck a success.
Don't forget, the end goal is that somday in the future, we will see CyberTrucks cruising around on Mars.

Very disingenuous to suggest people are disappointed because of their own hope or unrealistic expectations. They’re disappointed because they were plainly lied to.

Unfortunately I think you might be right regarding no cybertruck sales in the UK.
Suspect Tesla have ample LHD demand to avoid the need to switch to RHD to keep factories busy, although the drive by wire system would presumably be an easier switch across compared to a traditional steering column design.
The optimist in me hopes Tesla have ignored bringing new RHD Model X and S models in to create demand for vehicle larger than the Y, but I’m probably clutching at straws
I know one of the guys who received it though I haven’t reached out to him. I met him at the Model X event in 2015. He was one of the first roadster buyers… and he had a MS, and then was at the MX delivery event. If I remember correctly, he held up a personalized plate at the MX event. Then I saw him pick up the cybertruck. So not insiders. Just loyalists.

One of the new owners appears to be Alex Ohanian, a founder of Reddit and, more famously, Mr Serena Williams. I suspect the others are investors and/or well-known early adopters, as @voltaren indicated. I also suspect most of them don't hang out here with us great unwashed folks....

One of the owners is from Florida. He flew out for the Austin event. Instead of driving it all the way back to Florida, he drove it from Austin to Houston (Hempstead SC) to get a feel for the car. It was awaiting a transport truck to Florida when I was at the service center. Apparently the owner needed to get back to Florida and was already on a flight out. That is all I know...

I ran into one owner at the airport while leaving the event. He indicated that 20 CTs were delivered, but only 10 were shown at the event. He is in CA and expects to have it delivered in 1-2 weeks. He wasn't interested in driving it back home!

The RHD version is still listed on the Australian Tesla site. It should be fairly easy for Tesla to make the RHD version with the steer-by-wire system. On the same site, they don't sell the S/X anymore, since they don't make RHD versions anymore.Unfortunately I think you might be right regarding no cybertruck sales in the UK.

As for Europe, as others pointed out, most (or all?) American large pickups are not sold in Europe due to pedestrian requirements. The fact that Tesla has one of the best avoidance systems does not count.
Does every “positive” thread have to turn into a b!tching thread?
