Tesla registrations in Queensland have been in steady decline since the electric car manufacturer’s CEO, Elon Musk, fully embraced the far-right in the US and around the globe.

Data from the Department of Transport and Main Roads show annual Tesla registrations decreased by 34.97 per cent between 2023 and 2025.

That came on the back of a 245.31 per cent increase between 2021 and 2023 – and 1144.89 per cent between 2020 and 2023.

The contempt that Australians have for Seppo trucks such as Silverados, RAMs and F-trucks is real. Basically, the consensus is that all people who drive these trucks have “body issues” below the waist.

Except for the Technophiles, and Enviro-nerds the consensus is that Tesla Drivers also have Self-confidence issues with their communication skills.

There is no overlap between these two demographics so there is no market in Australia for the Cybertruck.
