Completely Serious
Didn’t want it at first but after more images and video came out it looks way cooler than how Elon Musk presented it.

$100 for a reservation is more like Tesla is testing the waters..Isn't Rivian wanting 1k? Granted its refundable, but clearly Tesla is looking for sheer numbers to show demand, not actual buyers. When i told people at my work I reserved a Cybertruck, they didn't get the minimal commitment I gave, only that I reserved one which in their mind meant I bought one.
The $100 reservation is purely for the Q4 earning report. I’m willing to bet (literally) they will announce X amount of truck preorders and 100k+ cars delivered Q4.
If the cost to preorder a truck was $2,500 there would be a SIGNIFICANT lower amount of preorders, but the buy rate would be much higher during the actual launch. What they get from this is a mass survey of what configurations consumers want. So when people inevitably opt out of purchasing they already have a vehicle built that statistically someone else would want.
Unfortunately the stock market is qtr to qtr focused, not long term. Some businesses make decisions based on this reality, this $100 preorder decision is one of them.

i agree. All car pre-order are all similar, not just Tesla. Probably only half of the pre-order translate to actual sales.I assume that same logic applies to the rivian, mach e, and taycan pre orders as well?
Exactly what I was thinking and believe is true. The order numbers are not model unique.Are the reservation numbers generated stay consistent with the particular model or would people placing orders for the S/X/3 have RNs generated in the same sequence? Ordered my Tri-Motor FSD Cybertruk yesterday(Friday) around 1pm CST and have RN #112855xxx. Also wondering if Tri-Motors are given higher RNs since they are being produced later??
I'll add my rez to the mix too; ordered just a minute ago !!
RN112920620
I believe it's all just order numbers right now. I have 1127496xx and ordered the tri motor. My friend ordered the dual motor an hour later and had 1127775xxWx

Oh Oh, Elon will do away with the base model because not enough interestElon twitted this 3 hours ago:
"146k Cybertruck orders so far, with 42% choosing dual, 41% tri & 17% single motor"
