Will it come to Australia? In some form possibly , especially since Tesla reduced the external dimensions of the Cybertruck, making it more likely for export markets such as Australia.

Wireless Android Auto has arrived for this model year Taycan to join wireless Apple CarPlay, but there’s still no wireless phone charging to make it really useful.
