I wouldn't get the air compressor. Given that the Cybertruck has 120v and 240v outlets, just use whatever decent air compressor you already have, or go buy a really good one for way less money than the Tesla version. I have a little 1 1/2HP compressor that will easily fit in that underbed storage area, and I have been using it in our GMC Sierra 3500 series 4X4 Dually for various tasks, at the job site, but also for recreation to inflate race car tires, inflate Mountain Bike tires and of course the Dually when it needs topped up. I think, (and I could be wrong,) that the tires on the Cybertruck must be heavy duty, higher pressure tires; on our Dually, we run 90 psi as the recommended pressures for the tires (sidewall pressures as recommended by the manufacturer) so a really good air compressor is needed, with a decent volume tank. Quite a few people might get caught out by the tire issue, because they're used to passenger car pressures in the 35 - 50 psi range. My 2c.

I was looking at these accessories the next day CT was introduced. First thing I thought was "Damn it's expensive. No way I'd pay this much!"

After market prices for similar products will be much lower.

I think the clear coating was more intended for preventing fingerprint from showing up and preventing extensive reflections and glare caused by the reflective metal which could prove to be a hindrance not just from the outside viewers but also while driving. The flat surfaces are way more prone to cause reflections and glare than the conventional shapes of vehicles where the rounded edges bounces light in multiple directions. Just a thought.

Fly by wire should make it easier to change it from left to right hand drive.😊

The L track feature is a game changer by it's self as a standard feature.

Definitely get the spare tire. It’s expensive af but I would never drive around or go out of town without a spare tire. You’re a sitting brick without it if you pop a tire because no tire company in town is going to have a tire you can just pull up and buy for the cyber truck and who knows how long it will take to order one and get to your location.

Yup, that repair kit won't fix a sidewall

Quick side note. Molle is pronounced like “Molly”. Some Americans love to use it to mount all sorts of “tactical” equipment. It’s commonly made of nylon and used to mount pouches on chest rigs & armor plate carriers that are threaded into it. Rigid molle on a vehicle or wall can serve a similar function. Anything with straps that are detachable on one side or the right mounting adapters can be securely threaded into it.

It would be amazing for you to take delivery in the US and do a roundtrip. We live on a ranch < 200 miles from the Cybertruk factory. We are happy to host you and the family and can use our home address for delivery if you need it!

I know that, like other trucks, the aftermarket will make lockable under seat rear storage. Don’t get the Tesla version, it’s a cash grab.

Tesla should draft a design for a DIY kitchen setup in the frunk. Enable the AC unit to generate and store water.

Steer by wire means they would have thought ahead for our Aussie and right hand drive markets.

I want to be able to lay the tailgate down and add a heavy plastic sloped section between the top of the flatbed and the bottom of the tonneau. It will need an additional spoiler and possibly should have one anyway. I can’t imagine the back curl suction of air on that solid flat back at 100 mph. An angled extension of the bay will only lessen the low pressure area behind surely.

I WANT ONE!!! This is a revolutionary, state-of-the-art, leading-edge technological masterpiece. To be clear, this is a "smart car". It is the "smart-phone" of automobiles. I saw one in-person today in a local showroom. This is a space-age truck, and really, a work of art. If you are the type to own a truck at all, you absolutely have to see it in person. According to test-drivers, it drives like a normal car. Attributes include extreme performance as well as high technology from front to back -- inside and outside, unequalled state-of-the-art suspension, drive-by-wire, great for recreation( it will easily tow a boat), it is virtually indestructible(even bulletproof/subsonic ammo), likely the safest truck/car on the road, and the list goes on.

Have you heard of any regular person yet, who placed a pre-order and actually got an email to customize their truck?

Hopefully they will have a mobile Starlink as an apption which they will install. With this I can see every single farmer or home steader in North America ditching their ICE truck and buying a Cybertuck. A lot of farmers and homesteders have solar and or wind turbine, some have micro-turbines and all will have some battery storage by now.

Sam, the tires are not 37". They are 34.6" tall OD.

You should wait till they ship to Australia mate

To do heavy lifting, I would make a gantry with a roller that extend pass tail gate with a wench. I use these kind of tools when I had to service dyne smog machine and pull PAU out of the ground. Easy to make and take apart. You don't need a ramp you just lift and roll item out of car. I had a take apart gantry that took me mins to set up. the top part had a roller that allow for a winch to attach.

with sharp edges there not allowed in australia

A detailed study found that the sledge hammer hitting door done in demo, broke a bracket that made window loose & less likely to withstand metal ball

You forgot the roof lights … they look badass and I would have them for off-roading.

The optional range extender is probably a must for those who need an SUV rather than a pick up truck. You may actually need 450 miles of range if you go off road...

And spend 160k to achieve it. Waste of money.

I’m a reservation holder. My reservation que in line is 83k. I just got an offer from Tesla. If I take the foundation series, I can take delivery by April.

I'm waiting for the solar roof rack that I'm sure come from Tesla and/or others.

Honestly you've got to drive by wire you've got a steer by wire and it's possible you have a Break by wire. I don't really know yet but that certainly could make it a lot simpler to switch your vehicle from left hand drive to right hand drive. Obviously the brake lines are reasonably easy to make new ones I've done it myself. The steering should be relatively easy once you're able to get the proper cabling. I have no idea literally none on what the cable that carries the information from the steering wheel to the sending unit would be.

The rear glass sunshade should be a retractable cover part of the head liner.

put the cybertruck in the automotive box that trucks are in right now by buying accessories like bumpers covers and wraps and floor mats. I think Tesla accessories need to be just as innovative like cybertruck design and the company has failed to expand the bubble. Thanks for your video and I think moving the steering wheel would be easier because you don't have to worry about mechanical linkages. Cheers

I bought the ramp. Best ramp i have ever owned and imo ever made

I would add the light bar as well. Love it!

A simple aftermarket camper would be a good purchase.

The success of model y and model 3 was because they were priced realistically, The reservations for CT the same. Tundra would make more sense.

I can't wait to see a review of the Tesla tire repair kit and compressor.

The center console tray is included with the Foundation Series only. Those who buy the non-FS trucks will have to buy them.

Don’t take delivery from USA. Just wait. It is a mass production model. They will make a lot of them in right hand drive configuration. Patience is the key here.

Many of these things come with the Founders Series.

it's drive by wire so you can move the wire a lot easier that a steering column and it's associated, rack and gears

Don't do the US delivery, Sam. You don't need to add all those complications to your life right now and all the changes you'll have to do to the truck to make it work in Australia will diminish the value of the vehicle, compared to an OEM right hand drive CyberTruck.

I'm starting to hear a right hand drive version is in the works so it may not be nessecary to convert it yourself at great cost.

Cybertruck seems to have lackluster warranty: "This Tesla Parts, Body & Paint Repair Limited Warranty applies to repairs that are not provided under goodwill or not otherwise performed by Tesla free of charge, and provides a limited lifetime coverage on body and paint repairs performed by Tesla. The limited lifetime body repair warranty includes repairs for cracking, flaking, pitting, and deterioration of body parts BUT EXCLUDES damage caused by RUST. The limited lifetime paint repair warranty includes repairs for peeling and cracking of paint or topcoat, and LOSS OF GLOSS caused BY HAZING (e.g. weathering)."

I'm from a couple years or so in the future and I remember the Tesla cybertruck is being the first vehicle in which a gamer hooked his controller to the Cyber truck and drove around for a while just by using the game controller. He said it really didn't make a difference because he used full self-drive much of the time anyway. The controller what's typically only used to exit his driveway and in parking lots.

for me I would just keep the trunk in left wheel drive so save the cash, but yeah getting it in the U.S then shipping it would be great.

Moving steering wheel to the right lot should be easier, cheaper, since CT has steer by wire. - no shaft column. to move.

Only the accelerator and the brake pedals

Also, most of the accessories come with the foundation (excluding wrap, tent, ramp etc)

I would like to see a large key like you get on sardine tins that would clip on a half open back cover. Maybe some large plastic sardines to go in the bed.

If you switch to small enough wheels, the Cybertruck will become a true Low Rider.

Dear Mr Electric viking. I don't know what regulations Australia has on sitting in the left seat while driving. However all of the autopilot in full self-drive should make it so you don't really need to convert your car to right hand drive.

Any vehicle built after 1989 must be converted to RHD before being legally driven on Australian roads.

Yeah I want some of these. Agreed. The Tesla ones that is. I think I could go the mole panels. I like the cargo bins but very tapered at that bottom

I'm glad there's so many accessories. Hopefully some kind of solar roof cover and bonnet cover will come out as well. If it does, I'll get one.

Everyone says Australian regulations and sharp edges etc. Does anyone have actual info? Due to weight does it become a light duty vehicle and does that change any regulations? Edges dont actually seem that sharp (could be fixed with a plastic trim). Main thing I have read that regulations care about the nose hieght which is actually lower and bonnet angle which looks great for pedestrians ( compared to a landcruiser with a bull bar) Currently drive a troopy with a bullbar id rather be hit by this for sure 🤕. I wonder if we will get pedestrian impact info to compare vs the Toyotas which rule aussie roads atm. Not to mention the passive features to avoid impact all together

Sam maybe fly to the US and rent a Cybertruck for a week and go on a road trip. Fill your boots over there. Then come home to Melbourne and get your own truck from Tesla in Aus … or cancel if you end up hating it! Best of both worlds without shipping and conversion hassle

I’d love to see you import and convert to right-hand drive. That would make a brilliant series of videos.

Total cost to do what you suggest excluding changing to RHD is around 160k 😅😅😅 Gst, luxury car tax, stamp duty, and more. Things seem simple to some people 😅😅😅😅

Those tubs are a bargain. Missing from this list are; 270° awning Centre console fridge (48v) 15,000lbs 48v winch …. Or Bush winch lug nuts, drum & Line. Rear bar spare tyre holder. Last but not least the capacity to charge whilst driving; either from solar on a trailer or a generator.

I think Tesla achieved a good balance of what is included and what is not included. The ramp would have made the tailgate too heavy and added weight to the truck. Air compressors fail a lot and it's best not to have it built into the truck, just get any compressor and plug it into the AC plug. That way when it breaks you can replace it.

Sam, the gigacastings are symmetrical! Without the need for a stearing column, If I had the money, I would do it 100%

It is steer by wire. Should just have to move the steering wheel module. Then connect the wires. Should be much easier than moving a steering column and the steering linkages.

Cybertruck is so sweet! ⚡️🇺🇸

ship it here to NZ sam, we drive lefthand here,..you can visit.

I drive by wire SHOULD make it easier to swap to right hand drive. But between the new drive by wire tech, and the 48Volt system, you won’t find any company that knows how to transition it to right hand drive. It would be an expensive experiment….

Also could you please find out the range when cubertruck is towing ?

These are options I won’t need to consider for at least five years+ b4 the truck is actually available in my geo

If you like the truck and it can be done ship it. Like you said it's hard to say if it can be converted to RHD at this stage, especially the regulations in Oz regarding safety etc

Roof shade should have come built in to the CT and be push button Crazy that it is not

Make sure that the Tesla connector used in australia is the same as in the USA. I know they’re different from the ones in the UK for example

WeatherTech will start making all kinds of floor liners and cargo liners once they actually start selling some trucks. Their stuff is great.

Have my US reservation on the unveiling day back in 2019. Currently work in Okinawa Japan and would love to do the same. Please share information about shipping it out of US. Thanks

Get the Cybertruck ,go to America it will make fantastic content ,film the whole thing and make some money to pay for shipping

One of the issues that I see on taking a cyber truck to Australia is what software for full self-drive in autopilot is the Cyber truck equipped with.? I think you and totally will answer this question much better than I can because I don't know how the model 3 and the other Tesla models handle the left-hand driving situation. However it is possible that each vehicle is unique in so Tesla would have had to have install the software making it possible to drive on the left in Australia. I don't know the answer but that would be one to find out

If it is drive by wire it should be much more simple. Move the pedals. Remount the wheel and mirror the control screen

Do you need to move the yoke? You can have an imported left hand car in America IE: all mail trucks.

Do you have to convert to a right hand drive if you transport back to Australia from America over here in America if you purchase a right hand drive car from say Japan you can leave it the way it comes and still get it road legal

……..song in head “ If ya wanna call home and there ain’t no phone “

Those rear storage bins don't come with it?

Good things comes to those who wait! Let’s write to Tesla to make a RHD version.

You'll need 2 ramps to load an ATV.

When I worked at a BMW dealership a customer ordered a LHD drive spec car for driving to France in. Ask if you can just order it with the other spec?

Wait for a right stearweel it shouldn't take to long considering it is Stear by wire.

I would have thought they would have had the sunshade already fitted

Do not get it prewrapped...I had so many body alignment issues and other things. Imagine getting those things fixed with a wrap on it.

What about the light bar?

Does the base camp have solar panels?

In my country and where I live now, we can drive a vehicle with a steering wheel on the wrong side. You can’t do that in Australia?

Accessories?! 😂They only delivered 10 CT’s. What is their weekly delivery schedule?

I thought cybertruck had air suspension, If so, why isn't there a way to access that air supply?

Solar tonneau cover?

Software issues. Im sure it would need diffrent firmware fire right hand drive.

Good idea with all the changes why not drive on the right side as well.

"Smuggle" a Cybertruck into Australia - DO IT ! ! !

I think they will bring cycbertruck to Australia but not for at least 3 years. The steer by wire should mean that conversion to RHD should be very easy. Lighting and other regulatory compliance are trivial. As for the pedestrian safety, it has a lower front end than comparable vehicles which should make it safer. Australia has changed its requirements before to allow electric truck (allowing the wider evs) I don't think its worth it to do the conversion yourself just to get it here a year or two earlier.

But if you talk to these people, they really believe they are buying safety. They claim that in an accident the bigger vehicle wins. Personally, I like small cars and believe the higher maneuverability allows me to avoid the accident in the first place. FWIW the Cybertruck is a little smaller than F-150.

Regarding your CT order. I think it's a good idea to ship it, but it will prob cost like $5k or more. You can add The CyberTruck Aussie to your alias's. You got my vote! You have to find a delivery address in CA, where the international port is.
