I traveled to the US in early June to pick up my Cybertruck, as Tesla insisted that only I could collect it in person. My stay in Irvine was amazing—I had a blast, especially driving the Cybertruck around for eight days before heading back to Qatar.

The Cybertruck was shipped from California on September 15th, as the title took 30 days to arrive by mail, much longer than expected. It’s now close to the White Sea, and I’m hopeful it will arrive by mid-October 🤞.

Once it’s here, as a founding member of Tesla Owners Qatar, we’ve got a lot of exciting tests lined up in the sand dunes and rough terrains of the desert. I’ll also be taking it for a spin across the Gulf countries. I’ll keep you updated on how the tests go!

Awesome!!

Now that's some dedication to the CT, haha!!

I can't imagine having taken delivery, driving it, then having to box it up and send it over the open ocean.

Then again, now you know the (second) wait will be worth it!!

Congrats!!

I didn't know there were any Superchargers in Qatar or around the Doha area.

How about take it down to the Sealine Resort and capture some photos of it there for us?

I'm also told that Qatar also has plenty of dunes for off-road fun.

Be careful driving it around Doha though!

Tesla: "To maintain service life, the battery pack should be stored at a state of charge (SOC) of 15 to 50%."

It's great that you can track your car in the middle of the ocean halfway across the world yet Tesla can't track their own deliveries on a train in the same state.

Great story !!!

I was wondering why you would not have taken delivery near a major harbor on the east coast?

Note: I was checking Wikipedia, as I was a little puzzle:
"The White Sea is a southern inlet of the Barents Sea located on the northwest coast of Russia."

Maybe you mean the Alboran Sea ?

Thank you!

It was my first time visiting the US, so I wanted to take the chance to meet some old friends. Plus, with all the shipping delays in the Red Sea, I couldn’t be too picky about where it will ship from 😅

Qataris are generally big fans of Tesla, especially the Cybertruck there are already 4 on the road here.

Yes Tesla open in Qatar almost a year now
Just by curiosity, did you ordered using the Tesla Qatar website or showroom, or the US website?
If so, what address did you use to make the order (US address or Qatar address)?

Because when ordering in US you need to be resident of the delivery state.
I remember reading a TMC posting about a Retired Military US Citizen living in Panama
and trying to get a new Tesla to be delivered in Portland but could not do so.

Or maybe you use the Grey market using a dealer
who bought it first, or something of that nature.
