  1. South African Rangers now deploying E-bikes to protect the wild against poachers:

    "The petrol bikes we've used previously have all been loud, heavy and expensive to keep running in these areas. The CAKE bikes are quiet, which makes it easier for us to approach poachers undetected. We hope this collaboration will result in more effective anti-poaching in our region and we are really excited to start using the bikes in the wild." said Mfana Xaba, Anti-poaching team leader at the Southern African Wildlife College.

    I remember another story from S. African about a lion pride that ate the poachers. Elon denies any involvement.

  4. Definitely no Cyberquad machines involved here, just a substitute presumably until deliveries finally commence:D

    More problems with the site you linked, https://teslacyberquad.co/: It produces a very suspicious and unprofessional error:
    "ERROR for site owner: Invalid domain for site key."

    That site never mentions Tesla, other than in their website's URL. Their "Shop Now" page ends with an incomplete sentence that's missing the link that ends the sentence they copied from the Tesla Cyberquad website:
    "For additional product details"

    This single "Sold" eBay listing is the only proof I could find that someone actually received one of the 5,000 Cyberquads Tesla sold:

    Their bikes should use belt drive, probably quieter...

    Just curious how noisy their bikes are.
