    Reserved mine. 1:10 scale. Already backorder. Can’t wait for December.

    I think this is going to work wonders for Tesla. If this thing ships out a year before the actual truck, it will give people an “early” hands on look. With the 1:10 size you can see the interior, the back, the lights. If Tesla has 500K orders now, they may actually double or triple by next year. Plus they may even have less cancellations if there are people that are able to see it hands on a year before.

    I wonder what backordered means for a product that won’t be coming out for 10 months. Can’t they just plan to make more?

    I really think instead of the micro-Cybertruck they should have made a micro-CyberATV that you could drive into the back of your mini-Cybertruck...

    I ordered both the 1:10 and the 1:64. I hope it helps my Mattel stock, too! :(

    The idea "from what I gathered" is that the CyberTruck is is limited edition. if you got one, your lucky.

    I get the limited thing, but they never said how limited it would be, right? Seems like they’d be passing up money for no reason by limiting themselves to a predetermined number.

    The website now has a link to add your email in case stock is refilled. Perhaps “limited edition” was just a excitement placeholder.

    Limited edition likely means they only planned on filling a certain number of orders directly and the rest of the stock would just be sold to stores.

    Toys are just like cars. They plan capacity and volumes. To make tooling and order raw materials to build More than planned adds costs and may not be worth it for 10-20% more. 2-3x more and they do it.

    WHY do I have to wait until December for this?? Are they building a tiny little terrafactory first? I demand drone footage

    I checked earlier in the week on my order and it said "backordered until Dec 15" but nothing else.
