These little CE 04 rockets have arrived in Aus.
Very intriguing design. And using tech straight out of BMW i cars.
First electric scooters in the market.
I'm hoping to take one for a weekend test soon.

Man, they look like a hoot!
UberEats/Deliveroo delivery riders are going to be lethal when you can't hear the tiny two-stroke pinging away in future though, and they're sketchy enough now!

This is quite and interesting video about electric bikes and why they haven't made much of a dent compared to electric cars

Look cool and would be a good commuter, but "from $21,960" seems very steep, and will put many people off.

Yep, same challenges as with cars in the early days. Tech will catch up eventually to give them better range. Until then city bikes like this make more sense.

No doubt, but entire first allocations are already sold out. Cheaper varients possibly on there way too.

Yes, it will be battery tech that will need to improve before full sized electric road bikes become viable. Things like trials bikes though, where A: you don't need to ride very far and B: excellent torque and throttle control is critical, are another prime area for electric bikes.
just got ETA updated form tesla, was 14-20 weeks from january, now sometime between August and November. i could understand one quarter slipping from the shutdowns, be very annoyed if it's more than that. worse still for some people waiting since november for LR and P models.

It's the case with a lot of manufacturers at the moment. Just so many supply chain shortages.

What's an 'LMIL' (that one with the 3+ year wait)?

The ***Month for Production to be filled (NOT DELivered?) seems to mean that's before they even ship too... 
Landcruiser ute?

Not sure. I'm assuming it's a Landcruiser variant of some sort (the 70 series maybe) as I reckon the LWAG would be the Landcruiser Wagon

I know the RAV4 hybrids are a big wait

Parental's Polestar is apparently due in October, but they've still bought out the lease on their current CRV just in case.
