It's a $100 reservation and we know many people have multiple reservations for various EVs. It's possible there are 2 million "reservations", but until the actual details and pricing are announced it is totally meaningless.
From what I've seen of the photos of Tesla's suspension and the fact that no-one has ever seen a cybertruck tow anything, I will be very surprised if they are able to hit their 3500 lbs payload and 14,000 lbs towing numbers. Especially because they added 4 wheel steering to it after those were announced. I would not be surprised to find out they can't do all three things in the same vehicle and you'll have to choose trims.
Agreed that it will do well. Not so sure that it will have impressive tech/features. I expect it to have similar or lower features overall to the R1T. Of course any little thing will be hype as a Tesla innovation (ala Apple and them "innovating" things that have been done many times before).
Meaningless data. Not official numbers, and nothing matters except conversion rates. Evidence: I've had a CT reservation since the day it was announced. I have no intention of actually purchasing the vehicle.Nearing 2 million Cybertruck reservations. Tesla is reportedly receiving 1,000 reservations per day.
As Elon stated, Cybertruck demand is so far off the hook that you can’t even see the hook.
I thought the third brake light could not be on a movable component (tailgate). If it can there's no reason we can't get that too. I always thought we needed an additional brake light on the tailgate.
I also believe the pricing will be substantially higher then what we were shown a couple of years back, but other than the fear of scaring potential customers off, two legit reasons I can imagine for not releasing pricing yet are:
I love to see the details if it will indeed be using 48 volts for the low voltage system. I wonder if that means the end to using a separate battery for the low voltage system and they will just run everything off the big traction battery?
Both are entirely possible! But even if we are still looking at 6 months out - which would be hilarious since it's Musk trying to get everyone to the edge of their seats about "production" starting - a more accurate range of pricing could be announced if they saw it as adding to their competitive advantage.I also believe the pricing will be substantially higher then what we were shown a couple of years back, but other than the fear of scaring potential customers off, two legit reasons I can imagine for not releasing pricing yet are:
-They are still too far away from actual production (you know.. vehicles being made and delivered to paying customers) and they're concerned commodity prices (Stainless Steel, copper, semiconductors, battery raw materials, etc..) could change too much between now and production start and they'd have to change pricing to cover cost increases just before release which wouldn't go over well.
- No matter what the king says.. they have still not finalized all the production model details (fix the leaks in boat mode, still unable to tow infinite mass, that wiper!, etc..), so it would be very risky to release a final price when the vehicle design/materials aren't set in stone yet.
Admittedly, it's very frustrating to see them drag out the pricing details, but it is what it is when dealing with the king
Agreed, his "production staring" statements could easily mean many months out.. and could only be a couple hundred (if that many) vehicles. His statements are pretty much meaningless nowadays... who knows, he may end up becoming the Howard Hughes of our generation based on his off the wall behavior of late?
I hope no one ever ends up like that, but if I had to pick one person headed in that direction it would definitely be him.
