Cybertruck Waiting Room - Australia

[Jimbowa]

Well I put an order in but there was no where to choose the specification

Cybertruck

Cybertruck is designed to have the utility of a truck with sports car performance. Built to be durable, versatile, capable and high-performance both on-road and off-road.

I read in the press that cybertruck is no longer coming to aus. Article also said those of us who had paid deposits will not automatically get them refunded. Has anyone successfully had their deposit refunded and what was the process to initiate it? TIA.

 

[begg]

I ordered 4 of them during the launch. 3 by accident because the Tesla site kept on crashing. Time to give up on the "dream"?

 

[Lachlan Smith]

Tesla has never confirmed the Cybertruck is coming to Australia, but nor has it formally ruled out the vehicle. Information about the Cybertruck remains on the Tesla Australia website.

Tesla Cybertruck deposits to be refunded in Australia after online ordering disappears

Two months after the Cybertruck was wiped from Tesla’s Australian website, customers who placed an order can apply for a refund of their deposit.

In relation to size, the F150 is now coming to Australia.

Pure speculation. Click bait article.

Tesla's stock price is rising, time for the short sellers to ratchet up the FUD.

 

[Flatbat]

Thanks for setting me straight on the clickbait article. My Cybertruck deposit can sit back and wait UFN.

This guy does seem to be getting all bent out of shape about the article he penned ...

Opinion: I want to drive a Tesla, but I don’t want to be a Tesla driver

An EV beckons as our next new family car, but one good option is entirely off the table because I don’t want to be associated with the unhinged fanbase.

Also refuses to accept that the article had no basis in fact, and was simply click-bait.
And blocks any comments that say that.
That said there is no need for Tesla fans to send him abuse.

The facts...

CT deposit has always been refundable

In May 2022 (ie. 2 months ago), globally the CT stopped taking deposits, as covered by other media

Tesla closes Cybertruck reservations for Australia and other global markets

Tesla has closed orders for the Cybertruck electric ute for Australia customers, in latest blow to people wanting to switch to EVs.

Australian subpage for CT still exists, just need to replace model3 or modely with Cybertruck in the URL

In relation to size, the F150 is now coming to Australia.

A bit late, but worth noting that Ford Australia have only said that the F150 is coming to Australia, not the Lightning. They have more or less admitted that there are no plans for the electric version at this time.

I suspect that the first long range EV pickup/SUV we will see is the Rivian. Unless one of the Chinese manufacturers can move forwards on their plans. LDV have a 2WD pickup coming soon, BYD have a ute in development as well.

 

[RareEarth]

Yes I think a Chinese / Korean ute might be first. At this point if anything half decent arrives here I will be seriously considering it.

As far as the US manufacturers are concerned they will be flat out servicing the US market for quite some time.

I still have my CT order in, the AU web page is still there and Tesla have not told me I cannot proceed with the order.

Anyone have thoughts on the implications of this?

IDRIS is the manufacturer of the Gigapress that Tesla use. The 9000 is the one they use for the Cybertruck. And this one is going to Asia.

(I always thought the 9000 was made specifically for Tesla but I might be wrong.)

(Wishful thinking) - A new line in Giga Shanghai just for Oz Cybertrucks.

 

[jamesgo]

They could be just taking a machine to China for HQ promo work, IRDA is owned by LK Group

 

[WoodWombat]

Alternatively, they might be over-specifying a press for Model 3 Highland redesign work so that later they can make larger castings for other vehicles, e.g. One piece floorpan for a "Model 2".

Received an email notification of an update to this thread..

Presumably the poster deleted it immediately, after finding out this wasn't correct. Not only is it still there, but it has pride of place at the top of the page.

 

[Sluggabed]

Yep, that was me, self checking my info.

If you go to the mobile site, it ain't there, so I'm at a loss......

 

[Chuq]

Yep, that was me, self checking my info.

I was keeping you anonymous

 

[Sluggabed]

All good, happy to called out or corrected.

Elon broke my emotional attachment with the Model S (lost mine due the Covid fiasco) decision and I hope he doesn't move onto the Cyber. Disheartening to say the least. I've been banging the Tesla drum since 2011

If tesla are not fulfilling RHD orders for S&X then I cannot see the cybertruck being RHD, especially given our compliance requirments around the structure
