The highly anticipated Tesla Cybertruck has already received over 1.5 reservations as it approaches production, according to Electrek.
Can Tesla fulfill the high number of Cybertruck orders?
It is exciting to see if Tesla can fulfill this high number of orders, which is significantly attributed to CEO Elon Musk‘s extreme marketing. It is worth noting that he claims that the Cybertruck is the automaker’s product ever.
In retrospect, the Cybertruck received various feedback when it was unveiled in 2019. In the demonstration, the purportedly “unbreakable window” broke.
Nonetheless, Tesla received around 250,000 reservations for the Cybertruck in the first week after it was unveiled.
Furthermore, some Tesla outlets reportedly received hundreds of Cybertruck reservations each week, even during the pandemic. Apart from these, Cybertruck reservations even assisted in driving up sales.
Demand for the Cybertruck
More than 1 million Cybertrucks had been pre-ordered in 2021, according to a crowdsourced tally of reservations. The same calculation now sets reservations for the Cybertruck at over 1.5 million units for 2022.
These figures are unusually high in demand. However, it should be emphasized that Tesla only requires a $100 refundable payment per reservation.
Furthermore, the Musk-led automaker has demonstrated advances in its efforts to put the electric pickup truck into production at the Gigafactory in Texas. According to the automaker, production will begin as planned in the middle of 2023.
