But the weight itself raises questions (especially considering that the EU is going to raise the bar, as wraper mentioned) in terms of efficiency.

There is a market alright, pompous woke transgender dentists , nasty stiff upper lip lawyers, dumb azz politicians who want to "politically signal"
they are indeed "imaginary" green while driving to airport to take private jet to Cop28 UAE and Davos WEF climatechange meeting etc.
There is always a "invented" market for dumb ass products, kitchen ice cream machines, instant bread baking machines from Philips are other famous devices.

CyberTruck has been sold out for many years ahead. According to drive.com.au, it may take four to five years for Tesla to clear its pre-order backlog.

Don't all the "anti-wokes" love Elon now because he censors twitter/x how they want?
They used to hate him!

I always thought he was a twat, so I am an "equal opportunity" nasty old man!

Would be interesting to see the typical "profile" of the buyers, if there is any.

Psi:
I'm really not all that concerned about steer by wire.
It's really just a question about how redundantly it was implemented, the concept is fine and already used in so many other industries for things.

I've not looked at how its done in Cybertruck but if it has two independent motors, 2 independent steering wheel angle sensors and one system gets power from the 48V battery while the other gets power from an always-on feed from the primary battery. Then that would seem pretty robust to me. I guess the difficulty with only 2 systems is knowing which one is faulty and so which one needs to be disabled to reduce the risk of them both fighting each other.

As far as looks go, I think it looks quite cool.
But the only way I could ever see myself owning one would be to take on camping trips and only if I had money to burn.
It seems pretty impractical and way to big for everything else i might want a vehicle for.
Perhaps if Tesla come out with a smaller version of it it might make more sense to have as a utility vehicle in NZ. It's just too big otherwise.
