Tesla Cybertruck Surpasses 200,000 Preorders Despite Polarizing Design
Elon Musk reveals that Tesla's uniquely angular Cybertruck reaches 200,000 preorders just days after its unveiling. The all-electric pickup truck requires only a $100 fully refundable deposit and starts at $39,900.
Tesla's Cybertruck quickly amasses 200,000 preorders, CEO Elon Musk announces on social media just days after the vehicle's highly publicized debut. The unique, angular design divides public opinion, with some praising its futuristic aesthetic and others criticizing its unconventional appearance.
Despite the polarizing look and a production timeline that pushes the release to late 2021, customers eagerly lock in their spots. To secure a preorder, buyers only need to put down a fully refundable $100 deposit on Tesla's website, making it a low-risk commitment for interested consumers.
The base model of the all-electric pickup truck starts at $39,900, with prices reaching up to $69,000 for premium motor configurations and upgraded specifications. Musk explains that the truck's distinctively flat, planar design stems directly from the difficulty of stamping the ultra-hard 30X steel used in its construction.
