Yup! Thar's it. Same colour too.

I see in the Govt tenders here they are calling for expressions of interest from consultants, relating to EV charging stations at various facilities.
Qld health is doing the same...yet they are out of $$$ for health care.

Funny that the Vic State Gubment released a paper at the same time about ‘Zero Emission Vehicles’ 🤣

Good to see the ACCC really going after the important issues. Small wonder they are routinely ignored.

A bute ute or Lada like??? I think it is UGLY. Much more than the NIVA ute I once loved to drive

"After a wait of almost four years, development of the Tesla Cybertruck seems to have reached the finish line, with only weeks remaining until the start of initial deliveries – assuming Tesla sticks to the late Q3 timeline announced earlier this year.Yesterday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted a photo of a "production candidate" Cybertruck after driving it, labeling the vehicle as the company's "best product ever."
However, that doesn't mean Tesla can rest on its laurels – quite the contrary. The Cybertruck Owners Club caught wind of an internal email from Elon Musk to Tesla employees in which the executive demands the manufacturing team to pay extra attention to the Cybertruck's fit and finish and ensure high standards of quality.
The CEO mentioned panel gaps in particular, noting that tolerances "need be specified in single digit microns." Here's the email in full.

"Due to the nature of Cybertruck, which is made of bright metal with mostly straight edges, any dimensional variation shows up like a sore thumb.
All parts for this vehicle, whether internal or from suppliers, need to be designed and built to sub 10 micron accuracy.
That means all part dimensions need to be to the third decimal place in millimeters and tolerances need be specified in single digit microns. If LEGO and soda cans, which are very low cost, can do this, so can we.
Precision predicates perfectionism.

Holy crap. Musk is such a moron.

If the windscreen is really as extensive as it looks, it would be a bit interesting being inside on a nice, Queensland/Northern Australian, summer's day!

Or even Western NSW! But it is only slightly worse than 90% of current cars, and a significant proportion of current cars add a glass roof section to ensure that summer warming is as high as possible.

absolute clown car. The windscreen wiper is like 5 feet long good luck replacing that with Tesla's renowned customer service (none). Not to mention the drivers position is near the middle of the wheelbase. If you buy one of these you are a bigger moron than the guy trying to sell you one.
