    I’ve never seen one in Australia. They don’t meet the ADR (Australian Design Rules) so they literally cannot be sold except for use on private land - a farmer could drive one around their field if they so desired. When asked about international sales Musk said he didn’t want to design it for a global market because that would “make the design worse” which is really saying something.

    This article is from last year but still applicable. Given sales and events since then I think the title can be updated from “any time soon” to “ever”, and that warms my heart a little. https://www.drive.com.au/news/why-tesla-cybertruck-not-coming-australia/
