What happened with the Cybertruck dream of the 2M reservation holders? [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

[Gilbertus]

Many of you here were bold (and lucky!) enough to snag a Cybertruck when it finally launched—and it’s been a joy sharing in your excitement, hearing your first impressions, and seeing the incredible ways you’ve personalized your trucks.

But I can’t help but wonder: What happened to the dream for the rest of us—especially the 2 million of us originally holding reservations?

I count myself among the passionate. I love the CT and still dream of owning an AWD version... someday... when it doesn’t cost $80K. I've ridden the full rollercoaster—from the hype and delays to Tesla’s ups and downs, and now the hope of a revival.

Based on recent developments, it feels like I’m still 2–3 years out from making my Cybertruck dream a reality. I’ve waited 6 years already, and while I try to tune out the noise (forgive them, Father, for they know not what they post ?), I’m also starting to wonder: will the industry shift again before I get there?

What if the future brings something even better?

I’ve been tracking the idea of extended-range EVs—electric vehicles with small, efficient gas engines that silently recharge the battery without powering the wheels. You get the performance, the range, and the peace of mind. Scout seems to be exploring this, and honestly, I think it could catch on.

Still, part of me hopes Elon and Tesla double down—bring the CT to market at $55K, sell 500k+ units during its lifetime, and prove that manufacturing excellence can make that future attainable. But time is slipping, and without something radical, I fear the CT might never fully live up to its potential.

That’s my two cents.

Now I’d love to hear from you: What happened to your Cybertruck dream? Is it still alive? Has it shifted? What does your future look like—with or without the CT?

No right or wrong answers—just real stories from a community that’s been on this wild ride together.

... and if you're wondering, here is my last mental pic of how my CT could look like, if I had one

Like you I'm waiting since 2019. Big fan of the CT in possession of a Y, but, and this is a big but: I'm from Luxembourg in Europe. I still didn't give up my dream, but am looking what happens on the EV market. The GMC Denali looks fantastic, again, will it happen in Europe ?

As we are a very sporty family, I need a lot of space for bikes, foils, luggage.... I'm driving an Expedition Max, had several cars wit big booties, like Escalade, Dodge Ram..... I need something big, really like the power of the electric motors and good looking (suggestions ?).
