2nd Cybertruck and entire Tesla S3XY Family in New Zealand for winter testing!

[MarkusNZL]

Update from the SHPG in Wanaka, New Zealand (2nd July 2023):
I can confirm that there are at least TWO Cybertrucks up there now!!! The camouflaged CT from last weekend and now a second CT without vinyl wrap (unfortunately no footage yet due to increased security). The new unwrapped CT has the number 512 written with blue tape on the side of the car

ALSO, now the whole S3XY Tesla Family has gathered at the SHPG!

Maybe they have the whole line up here to shot a new winter video soon, similar to the one last winter?

Is there possibly a Tesla Model 3 Highland hidden under the black covers?

The camouflaged CT is concealed behind the shed, only the back is visible.

I now know in what shed the Cybertrucks are parked, so if you plan to come around for a visit I can point you in the right direction!

They can't use drones in NZ because the propellers turn the wrong way

512 is the Austin area code

At least it is for real G’s

You were right about one unwrapped.

I suspect they do indeed have two different trims, but left one unwrapped so they can shoot marketing stuff.

On Sunday, Lars from BEST IN TESLA reported a Cybertruck was flown to Belgium for European testing. I am shocked nobody here has picked up on it and discussed it ad nauseum. Any other news seems to support a flurry of comment and analysis. With so many European pre-orders it would seem a natural subject.

How cold does it get there?. Was Alaska proving grounds just noise?

Alaska’s July is NZ’s December

Or is it the other way around …

Tesla owns a proving ground up there. And Cybertrucks have been up there, not noise. But I think the NZ proving grounds was a "need it done now" move. Maybe the course is more in line with the goals.

Funny, today it is the same temp in both places. Weather is a deeper thing, but just though I'd point it out.

They have done this before though. Precisely there.

No, no.
Time is time and only goes one direction so Alaska's July is NZ's July and same with December.

But because they are on opposite sides of the equator all the directions are opposite. So in NZ the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Water draining down a hole will rotate counter clockwise. In NZ spring is followed by winter then fall then summer and back to spring. And when NZ is winter, Alaska is summer. Because of the opposite spin, the equator winds turned into whirlwinds that then grow into hurricanes that then spiral out of control away from the equator. And for ships on the ocean a similar phenomenon occurs in the water which causes whirlpools and deadly waters. The thought is that early experience with this section of dangerous waters is possibly the original cause of flat-earth thinking that ships would float off the edge of the earth, never to return. The latest side effect of this is that many map makers don't even know that NZ exists and end up leaving the whole country off the map. Go look at many of the more recent world maps.

What do you know about maps? I bet you can't even name this country:

I'm pretty sure that is Atlantis. It is also where the Knights Templar ran to with their wealth and ancient treasures after Friday the 13th. In more recent times, it has been renamed Listenbourg.

Sure, Atlantida
