Tesla cancels Cybertruck reservations in Australia and New Zealand
Original title: Tesla cancels Cybertruck in Australia and NZ after 7 years of deposits
Holders get deposits refunded within 30 days and a free year of FSD (Supervised) if they order a Model 3 or Model Y.
Tesla emailed Cybertruck reservation holders in Australia and New Zealand that production plans for those markets are discontinued and orders are cancelled. Deposits, including A$150 reservations dating to November 2019, will be refunded in full within 30 days. The truck is built only in left-hand drive, and Tesla has not certified a right-hand-drive version. Electrek ties the decision to weak North American volume versus the cost of re-engineering.
Unconfirmed: Regional reservation totals come from crowdsourced tracking Tesla has not confirmed, and Electrek’s quarterly sales figure is an estimate.
- Emails went out a day after Tesla’s Q3 2026 earnings report.
- Tesla delivered 8,295 “Other Models” in Q3 2026, a category now mostly Cybertruck.
- The Australian reservation page closed in May 2022 without refunds at the time.
- Left-hand-drive deliveries have started in markets such as South Korea and the UAE.
