To start with it's not a 'truck'. Second, it's an 'experimental' vehicle in the same way that drugs for covid were 'experimental'. Totally illegal for Australian roads even if a RHD version was ever to be made.
Telsa will sue you if you try to sell one within the first 12 months of ownership.

@zonavar68 It would probably be illegal on most countries' roads if designed to suit only USA Construction & Use regulations, but that's a minor problem within the automotive industry. The manufacturers design so customers' own national rules can be accommodated; but prototypes are likely to be made only for their home nations.
Why would Tesla sue you though? Does it actually belong to Tesla for at least the first year?
If you own it outright by having paid its full cost, not a lease or on hire-purchase, it's hard to see how it can possibly stop you selling it. I think hire-purchase means it belongs to the lender anyway, not necessarily the seller.

I don't know what this vehicle actually is, other then experimental; but I think most of the attacks on it on here are from American petrol-heads who think everyone needs a 15mp[American]g builders' pick-up just to go shopping and take the children to school.
(Oh yes, we get that type here in Britain too - and our gallons are bigger so say 20mpg. When the original Range-Rover, with its very heavy fuel consumption, became a fashion item it became nicknamed the "Chelsea Tractor" - after one of the most exclusively costly London boroughs.)
