Musk Says Pre-Orders Coming in With No Advertising
This resurgence comes after Wall Street’s skeptical reaction to the Cybertruck’s futuristic design. Analysts said on Friday that the truck looked “weird” and that it could keep consumers from purchasing it.
Seemingly, the more expensive options are the most popular. Musk tweeted Saturday that 41% pre-ordered the triple-motor option, which starts at a price of $69,900, and 42% have ordered the dual-motor option at $49,900. Only 17% have pre-ordered the single-motor option, which starts at $39,900.
The pre-orders are coming in even with “no advertising and no paid endorsement,” according to Musk.

Customers can make a pre-order a Cybertruck on Tesla’s website for a $100 “fully refundable” deposit. And, they will be able to complete their configuration “as production nears in late 2021,” the website reads. This is compared to the $1,000 Tesla charged for booking Model 3 sedans in 2016, sending the company’s shares back up on Monday.
