Tesla has scrapped plans to launch its Cybertruck electric pickup in Australia and New Zealand, ending a seven-year wait for customers hoping to see the vehicle offered in the two markets.

The US electric vehicle maker’s decision marks a reversal of its planned rollout and came as a surprise to prospective buyers.

The cancellation affects the Cybertruck’s planned introduction in both countries. The information provided did not explain why Tesla had abandoned those plans.

Details on how the company will handle customers who had been waiting for the pickup were also not provided, including any arrangements relating to reservations or refunds.
