When Elon Musk first unveiled the Tesla Cybertruck in late 2019, it was a shocking design—a thick, angular body like a paper takeout shell. It looked even more unreal when viewed on screen, like a vehicle from some sci-fi movie.
Not only does it look strange, but many people didn't find it very practical either. At that time, many people believed this was a collection car prepared by Tesla for super fans. Still, in the next three years, Cybertruck reservations accumulated more than 1.5 million reservations. This is also a testament to many people's good acceptance of new things.
Unfortunately, the whereabouts of Cybertruck remain unknown.
As of mid-January 2023, statistics show that the Cybertruck has received 1.7 million pre-orders. Of course, that certainly doesn't count all orders as truck sales, given that deposits are refundable, but it's a sign of Cybertruck's popularity.
The company has said that the launch time and price of the Cybertruck have yet to be discovered. So for now, pre-orders are still available with a $100 deposit (plus $40 to get the Broken-Glass Cybertruck T-Shirts, introduced at the unveiling). Final prices will be announced closer to future delivery dates.
