not sure what the publication date on that article is but there are people on this thread that are over 400000 down the reservation list. I know it was past midnight East coast time and my arthritic fingers don’t type so fast but did 40000 people really get ahead of me at the close of Musk talking?
Musk announced the 250k preorders on November 27 so it’s gotta be much higher than that by now. He hasn’t updated since though so we don’t know how many preorders as of now.
Agreed. The figure that took me by surprise was the 40% or less conversion rate.
Yes but who knows how accurate that is. Like the rest of the world, the analysts at Morgan Stanley have never seen a pickup design like this with these stats, pricing and package. So using all previous sales metrics/trends for other vehicles to predict the take rate for something so different just doesn’t seem like it’ll be accurate. I bet if you showed Morgan Stanley analysts photos of the Cybertruck before the reveal, they would have predicted a much lower pre-order number (heck, maybe even Tesla internally projected lower pre-order numbers than we’re seeing).
I think so. But how many will buy? I don't know. I think a lot of people don't realize what it is like living day to day with something this big. Most garages are small. It's not any bigger than other trucks, they don't fit either.
Wish my garage was anywhere close to that. Is your GMC as long?
Of course, a forecast by definition is wrong. I was just surprised how much discounting folks are applying. I'm hoping it's true so I get my Cybertruck sooner, ha, ha, ha!
