Reservation holders must now pay nonrefundable $1,000 "Early Access Deposit" to convert reservation into an Order (new as of 12/12/23)

[PATEL]

BREAKING:

Starting today, Cybertruck reservation holders will have to pay a $1,000 early access deposit to convert existing reservations into orders (once Tesla invites you to configure and order your Cybertruck).

It will be credited to your final purchase price upon delivery.

This is an interesting development, I wonder if folks have been having second thoughts and cancelling their recent order? Not sure why else they would increase the deposit to secure the order.

I was expecting more TBH.
Take my money, plz!

 

[awhehackeur]

People are getting cold feet... haha!

Good, hopefully that weeds out some buyers who are not serious. On the other hand $1000 is peanuts compared to the purchase price so maybe this won’t have much effect

 

[Jackcybertruck]

Exactly 250 or 1000 what is the difference

 

[Rutrow]

Was there any change to the Range Extender deposit?

 

[charliemagpie]

Probably saves them a lot of phone calls .. some cancel, some defer

If you pay $1000, good chance you are ready now.

Does this $1000 mean they are going into the next phase — NORMAL BUYERS !!!?

Take my money!!!!!! ? ? ?

Its not refundable which will give most non serious people pause

also gives pause to those of us waiting for more information,l: more details online, more independent reviews, more test drives, showroom trucks not roped off, etc.

On one hand, I bought my Lightning sight unseen

On the other hand, the Lightning proposition was familiar by design


with the CyberTruck, even on this forum, there are people still asking if there’s a midgate…

Ooh new configurator code.... ?

 

[SentinelOne]

will pay for the whole damn thing - just give me my truck!

No different from Rivian: $1,000 deposit becomes non-refundable:

https://rivian.com/legal/configuration
4. Nonrefundable Deposit

By confirming your Configuration, the deposit you paid to Rivian in connection with your Configuration will become non-refundable, meaning that Rivian will retain such deposit amounts whether or not you execute a final Rivian Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement and purchase the Vehicle.
