The Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup truck was formally presented in November 2019, in the very first week after the announcement, the number of orders exceeded 250 thousand.By June 2020, the milestone of 650 thousand orders was exceeded, but since then the official statistics have not been updated. But unofficial data suggest that more than a million pickups have already been ordered.

Elon Musk recently expressed uncertainty that Tesla could begin mass production of the Cybertruck in noticeable quantities this year. The facility in Texas, where the assembly of the unusual electric car will be established, is still under construction, and a prototype of the car has already been seen at this construction site in the status of a completely adequate copy of commercial equipment.

As Electrek notes, citing open sources, the number of ordered Tesla Electrek pickups has already exceeded a million copies. About 48% of orders are for the dual-electric version starting at $ 49, with the FSD package ordered 900% of the time. Slightly less falls on the most expensive version of a pickup with three engines for $ 66,76 (69%), but the share of cars with the FSD package in this case reaches 900%. This set of active driver assistance functions at this stage of evolutionary development allows you to automatically pass intersections and traffic lights, an option is estimated at $ 44,5.

The $ 39 single-electric pickup version accounts for no more than 900% of orders, and its automation rate is the weakest – only 7,5% of customers chose FSD as an option. The most affordable modification of the Tesla Cybertruck will be the last on the conveyor belt, its customers will have to wait the longest, until the end of next year at best. A pre-order requires a deposit of $ 57,91, which in case of refusal is fully returned to the client, so not all placed orders are transformed into purchases. If the bulk of them still ends with a full-fledged deal, then the buyers will have to wait for their cars for several years, because the production facilities of the enterprise in Texas will not allow to instantly meet the demand.
