I got this on 12/18/20
From Mattel...
”
Thanks for getting back to us! I've updated your original order number 1431***** to reflect that you want to maintain the back-order status for the Cybertruck item .
This item is expected to ship approximately 05/01/21, and your credit card will be charged at that time.
Thank you for your patience. We look forward to completing your order!”
Got notification today that I could accept delivery of my Cybertruck, so I took off to go get it... From Target. This will have to do until mine actually arrives.
You made me look. I ordered one of each. My order for the "GXG31" (the bigger one) is still marked "Backordered until 2021-05-01" but the "GXG30" (the little one) is now marked "In Progress". Whatever that means, at least it is a signal in what has otherwise been a very quiet environment.
OK, so maybe I wore the handle off my mailbox from checking it so much, but it's finally here! I called my friends and told them my Cybertruck arrived! This will have to do for the next year or two.
Heads up: IT TANK TURNS! Could this be a sign of what's to come? It's rear wheel drive, tiny (about two inches long) and quick! For turning, the rear wheels work opposed, no front wheel turning. It's more fun than I thought!
