Also in NZ, Teslas are being vandalised.

When I see a Tesla I make eye contact and raise my two forefingers in the form of a cross towards them.

Everyone I know who has a tesla has had problems with them, mostly quality control type issues. One guy had an accident and tesla just didn’t have the body part needed to repair the car, took 2 months to get it, then there was an issue of the car not charging properly afterward…took another month to sort out. They have very cool technology, but what good is it if it isn’t reliable. There have also been some issues with the self driving package/mode.

I belong to another forum for the outdoor hunting types and you'd be surprised, how many of the other forum members are mechanics. Virtually all of them say the same thing about Tesla - poorly made, bad quality control as you say, parts very hard to get. Yer average Toyota or Nissan electric, is light years ahead in quality.

I think I posted earlier about seeing a Cyber Truck in Vientiane, parked up, an inch of dust on it. My joke was they'd not worked out where to put in the petrol and so when the electric had run out, from the charge it had when new, there it sat. But in a more mature moment I surmise that they are waiting on a part.

Also I am surprised that Eion did not take Donald for a spin in the bought/gifted red Tesla, to demonstrate the self drive mode. It could have malfunctioned in a most fortuitous manner,  2 birds with one Lithium fire, so to speak.

A lovely thought, but not to be…. I too hunt and fish, and the cyber truck would suck as it’s off road capability leave something to be desired so I hear. I have a 2006 4Runner, which while bigger and more comfortable than my previous 1998 4Runner (I loved and miss that one) is not quite as good off road. Gravel roads and fire roads dirt roads into game areas usually aren’t too crazy but it does come in handy. When I make my final move to LOS, I shall look for a good second hand 4X4 Toyota of some sort…

The Toyota Hilux is pretty sturdy
