The only way I see large numbers of people abandoning their Cybertruck orders is if it is unappealing or very expensive at launch.

Even if you buy a Rivian or a Lightning in the mean time, I think most will hang onto that potential Cybertruck. $100 is a cheap option.

Have you heard about people actually getting a refund on their pre-order?

It says the CT is available globally, too.

Something tells me that page is a lost city no one ever updates.
Well, they have their videos in Chinese, and pricing in Canadian, so that's at least three countries.

The Model 3 had over 75% of its reservations convert to sales. Some switched to buying store stock - abandoned orders or floor models - so it's hard to get an exact number.

Im somewhat new to Tesla. Did the model 3 have a 3 year+ wait like CT?
The Roadster, the Model S and the Model X were quite delayed though which is where Tesla got their reputation for being late.

The Model 3 and the Model Y were both about 1 year from announcement to start of delivery. Then it took about a year to work through their order list. They sort of lulled us into a sense that Tesla had their timelines in order.

Cybertruck is like the perfect storm of delays. It was announced very early. Had a HUGE pre-order. COVID hit, there were delays in the battery platform, supply chain delays, plus a massive pre-order list which will take at least a couple years to work through **after** production starts.

Hopefully once production starts they will kick ass on production.

Yes, and with really bad early reviews and hiccups. But they persevered…Ogor is exactly right…$100 is cheap insurance for a awesome truck!

Agreed. What percent of the waiting list do you think have canceled? I have seen a few posters here state that they are moving on and read a couple of articles from late '21 about order cancelations due to bitcoin issue. I'm 3/4 back in line and trying to guage what the actual ordering will look like.
Cancel up to pesent? ~1.5%
Cancel at trimout? ~11%
Delay order? ~9%
Latent demand surge book rate? ~90k/mo
XTRAS taken over and above MSRP? +$6500/order

Without knowing what the final specs (and pricing) look like, I think it’s impossible to predict the actual take rate.
Not true! Watch:

I do not know what the final specs or pricing will be, however, I predict 69% of all reservations will become orders.

If there's one thing I've learned from this club, you don't need any information to make a prediction.

I should have predicted this.

Elon took my $100 deposit. Tesla better send some ships with cybertrucks to Europe or start making them in Berlin.
F150 and RAM are available here - no need to speculate if pickups are legal in Europe.

This is Tesla so you can count on there being a 69 in the numbers one way or another. But on the other hand, it might just be that out of the >1M orders, 42,069 of them end up canceling. Because you know, Elon. Or will it be 69,420?

Really bugs me when people start talking about a modified truck for Europe, pickups are everywhere here ?

Some good news for Australians this week, Ford announced they will be selling ta RHD version of the F150 here direct. Previously you had to get those imported and converted by specialty dealers. This will help normalise large trucks here and pave the way for CT.
