Tesla Cancels Cybertruck Launch in Australia and New Zealand
Published
Tesla has announced that it will no longer bring its Cybertruck to Australia and New Zealand. The electric pickup truck was expected to go on sale in both countries, but the company has now ended those plans.
In a statement, Tesla said that "after careful consideration, plans to produce the Cybertruck for Australia and New Zealand have been discontinued." The company did not give a detailed reason for its decision in the short message that was shared publicly.
The Cybertruck is known for its unusual angular design and stainless steel body. It is one of the most talked-about vehicles that Tesla makes. Because of this, the news has drawn attention from car buyers and fans in both countries who had been waiting for the model to arrive.
For Australian customers, the decision means that the Cybertruck will not be available through official Tesla dealers in the near future. Buyers who were interested in the vehicle will need to consider other options, such as Tesla's other models or pickup trucks from different manufacturers.
