Keep a good lookout for flying stones (or ball bearings).

Reminds me of back to the future and the Delorean car made in Ireland by US citizen Delorean.
He had rather brightly coloured cushions on a lounge in his home embroided: Nouveau is better than not being riche.

Seriously, not sure where Tesla is going with that one. It looks concept car silly, with equally silly specs (up to 14,000lb tow rating). Except Tesla doesn't usually do concepts.....

Seems like they have lots of pre orders. So not a concept.
Be popular in the deep south or maybe just another mum's Taxi.

No for me I'm afraid!
As I'm 6'6" tall, it appears as if my tootsies will have to stick out somewhere.
But it looks groovy.

Tesla Cybertruck. Check out the specs for the tr-motor version.
Stated range for any EV needs to be discounted to take into account on road realties, as compared to theoretical fully charged battery pack factory estimated range.
To begin with rapid charges and/or 100% charges quickly result in loss of battery capacity. So 80% charge is recommended for general purposes. And don't forget to add the replacement cost of the battery pack as a fuel cost.
The Nissan Leaf EV has a factory estimated range of just under 300 Km with a fully charged battery pack. But it depends on energy usage for air conditioning, windscreen wipers, lights, and other electrical equipment being used. And then speed, constant highway speeds will use more energy than suburban driving speeds. Hills and head winds are another variable factor.
In a US road test report the writer recommended that for average use discount the maximum range by 30-35% or more as the battery pack charge reduces over time.
In my opinion for Australians the Hybrid EV is a better choice. They are less expensive, can travel 20-30 Km on battery alone around town, and have the range utilising the on board petrol engine powered generator of equivalent ICEV.
However, I am in no hurry to replace my two years old Isuzu MU-X.
By the way, I recently received an email from the supplier of my electric pedal bicycle recommending not to fully discharge the battery or often recharge one hundred per cent to maximise battery life.
