TSLA shareholders say thanks for the interest free loan
I'm not sure how many forum goers have pre-ordered their Semi's... but I see your point
I figure at least this can be an "Australian" Specific discussion about the Vehicle until it eventually, hopefully arrives here.
Elon can look after my $150... He's been doing ok with my shares in last 12 months

Reservation for Tri-Motor although if a quad motor variant eventuates I would go for that.
It will need a winch, I wonder if this will be included or an option. Probably the latter or aftermarket.
The latest pictures show the chargeport as part of the rear fender? That ain't gonna work.

Tend to agree. Without the crumple zones, which the sledgehammer proof body doesn’t seem to have, I cannot see how it would achieve compliance. But maybe tesla have solved that problem, or maybe thats the real reason for the delay

If that was the case it wouldn't be approved in America either. Pretty sure American car makers are aware of this.
Haven't bothered to cancel the orders yet.You know what they say about “assumption”.
Maybe Cybertruck would be street-legal in Texas, where crumple zones are for liberals.

Have a tri-motor on order. Did it the day pre-orders opened up.. if its anything more than what I paid for my 2020 Range Rover Sport I will be walking away.

I am the same. A quad motor is the ultimate in off-road traction, and a high-voltage, water-cooled winch, maybe 10-15kW with 50m of dyneema and a variable speed controller would be amazing. You could winch all day, not in 5-10 minute bursts like we do now.
You are obviously a 4WDer since your comment about the chargeport was the same as mine. The fender flares are always the first thing to get torn off, no matter how heavy duty they are.
One concern that I have is the sheer size of the vehicle. It will be fine for outback touring, but the Victorian high country and tracks around Melbourne will be a challenge.

Yes it is still a prototype so hopefully they will put the chargeport back where it belongs behind a sealed stainless steel flap.
At least there will be no need to install an auxiliary battery system, diff locks, snorkel, long range fuel tank etc!
As for size yes it is a big beast. Unlikely ours will be going to a shopping plaza. Be able to put a big load of firewood in it though. The man who comes and fixes our creek crossings after floods drives some pretty big machinery so our 'driveway' will be able handle the size.
Got to get a much bigger solar system so we can charge it (and our X).

You want to laugh at the broken concrete wall and test rig in front if the cybertruck?I don’t care about that… what I want to see is the first crash-test videos.
