I ordered a CyberTruck 4 years ago, why don’t I receive an invite to purchase?

@WarpathTesla, your reservation number guarantees you a place in line, but only Tesla knows the actual sequence. You're no different than the rest of us who also have 'early' reservation numbers.

Reservation application interfaces published on the web from servers can handle thousands of requests in a single minute, with many processing instances assigned as the input demand grows. So you don't really know how many reservations were made before yours, regardless of how fast you think your response was.

The reservation number itself may be misleading, because Tesla could have had blocks of numbers dedicated to various server instances, with the application assigning an actual sequence index based on date/time stamp behind the scenes, attached to your reservation number the instant you made it. Only a few within Tesla really knows exactly how their reservation sequence works, but the bottom line is Tesla hasn't stated that the reservation number itself is actually any sequence at all. Many buyers are assuming that, but don't actually know for certain.

Of course it's possible within certain parts of the reservation number sequences may still apply, or that Tesla is loosely filling reservations based on a sequence combined with areas, regions, and trim variants, etc., but it's hard to know. I've seen many reservation numbers get configuration invites that were sequentially greater than mine. I've also seen reservation numbers in my state that were both less and greater than mine, getting configuration invites as well. So I've long realized that the reservation number alone doesn't determine the sequence.

We're all waiting. Good Luck.

Exactly!
No invite for me in Fremont, according to the tracker my adjusted order number was 25th in line. In other words I was basically first in line and I have not been invited. I take comfort in knowing that Tesla is not specifically screwing me over. We should really start a thread of low reservation numbers with no invite. That would be more interesting than the invites.

Hi all! I ordered a Cybertruck in the first hour after the presentation 4 years ago, my code number is RN112830*** ..

You are one unlucky dude. I actually fell asleep the night of the reveal and didn't place my reservation until the next day and got RN11282xxx...

 

[WarpathTesla]

First off, they have only just started getting to RN11283 numbers. They haven't "skipped" you. Secondly, are you in Siberia, or Texas? They are only delivering in North America so far, as Tesla always does on new product launches. (How do they address an early launch recall if the truck is in Asia?) If they even get a sense that you are not in the US, then you will be passed over for a long, long while, and that is how it's always been. You either need patience or another vehicle to target. Cheers!

In Texas and Los AngelesI live and I already have 3 Teslas on my account and 2 cybertruck reservations, I was just born in Siberia and lived there most of my life

Hi all! I ordered a Cybertruck in the first hour after the presentation 4 years ago, my code number is RN112830*** .. Tesla has some kind of Bot that determines who should win? I'm ready to buy right now, why am I not receiving a message?!?!? I have already studied many algorithms on what principle a person is selected, but does my order, which I made, immediately fly by? Is this fair? I’ve already taken a ride with a friend, but I’m waiting for my cybertruck, they didn’t even give me the wine and the pre-order doesn’t open the first time, sometimes it gives a 404 error. I just see that someone new ordered on Twitter and shared that he already knows the delivery date, but I have nothing?!?!? Who knows why?

I ordered before Elon even said it was live, where's my truck. You waited an hour, you're years behind.

That's in the same range as my RN, and I got my invite on the second.

Did you make sure that you have your address filled in at http://tesla.com/teslaaccount ?

Yeah, a bunch of us didn't get our confirmation until the next day.

Congrats on your invite @Crissa. I thought you were unhappy with the price/range.

Sorry but I have a lower num 11278…. and have not received an invitation. I’ll order any one of tho available too.

 

[Beyond]

Hopefully everyone who can afford the Founders Edition will get an invite soon. I'm going to wait a while and enjoy the Model Y in the meantime. Can't justify the early price for my use case. Would like to see a lot of Cybertrucks flooding the roads though!

Did anyone get offered the FS who ordered a single motor?

There's only been one person so far from Hawaii (that logged their info here) who has received their email. I bet you're next very soon Also, I have no clue, but I think I'm seeing trends by state anyway.

I'm sure that there has been, but delivery next year tends to be a bummer.
