Just to follow up on this, I wanted to post this close to the time of my reservation for whatever useful value the order # might have, but I didn't have time to add comments.
Comments:
I own a 3 (5 months old) and have a long term plan to find the right time to upgrade to a Y. My two complaints with the 3 is the driver seating position (coming from a Pilot as my daily driver) and the breakover angle (my driveway has a somewhat sharp peak and my 3 will scrape the under carriage when the whole family is in the car - try telling your wife that it doesn't happen until she gets in).
I watched the Cybertruck reveal live and absolutely did not like the design.
I watched the video on tesla.com the next morning and it started growing on me.
Then I started thinking about the price. For the same $40k, why would I chose the SR+ model 3 vs. the base model Cybertruck? The truck has more interior room, more functionality (if needed), the only difference is the 3 will be more efficient with energy. Then I started thinking that the Cybertruck could easily replace the needs that our Pilot fulfills as our family car (with 2-3 large dogs) and we could upgrade my wife when the lease expires in 2022.
Convincing the wife: She's a preschool director and is having a hard time thinking about driving it to work. It just looks too flashy, gaudy, military-like, different. I presented the case that it will prove much more functional than the Pilot, while offering basically the same inside space. She still wasn't convinced. Then I showed her this vinyl wrap ( Satin Perfect Blue 3M™ Wrap | 1080 Series Wrap Film ) and she was instantly sold on placing a deposit.
I'm not certain we'll complete the purchase, I mainly wanted to put in the deposit to lock in FSD pricing and figure we can figure things out in 2-3 years. But, then I mentioned that maybe I'll take it as a replacement to my Model 3 and she said to put in a second deposit.
We still only have 1 deposit. I'll think about the second over the coming weeks.

Me too. The first words out of my mouth during the reveal were, “Oh my God!”. Then, it started growing on me and the next day, I placed a reservation. Not a truck guy, never owned a truck in my life. But it’ll be useful if we buy a ranch with our TSLA proceeds
No rush, so I reserved the tri-motor. My wife likes the design; she’ll eventually find out that I pre-ordered the truck

And of course flamethrowers may be legal to own (but not to use). So if you are pulled over you don’t go to jail.

It’s like Wall-E vs the Predator.
I'm bullish on the Cybertruck to the point where I think other car makers should have an emergency meeting Monday morning .....
But .....
Up to this point in time I think Tesla and Elon were genuinely unsure about demand, but the good thing is this project can be built at any run rate so they had some flexibility...
I am now wondering if the "Giant Machine" Gerome was talking about is any part of :Cybertruck production process, because that implies a single factory and a high run rate...
So you may be right in that they have always targeted a high volume production, but how they could have been so confident with such an usual design in a typically conservative market category is hard to imagine.
IMO Model 3 & Cybertruck = I-Phone, Cybertruck is more of a ground breaking product that rewrites all the rules... at that is why other car makers need to get a handle on what it is, how it works, and how it is built ASAP....

Parking. Unless you live, work and shop only in the vast suburbia ...

Cybertruck in the Robotaxi network nets more income than anyone in the preschool industry? If you're into that sort of thing.

Yeah, but more often reading comments on Twitter is like reading the walls of a toilet stall at a Ted Nugent concert.
No offense to toilets.

Down $20 Monday. Wall Street crooks will simply revise their 50k cybertruck a year prediction to 500,000 a year estimate and write up a long report about how the two smashed windows caused potential gang members, drug dealers and cartel MS17 thugs from pre-ordering. They will instead buy from Nikola and other potential Tesla killers who not only are working on a new battery tech, but also are on the verge of a potential bazooka proof glass window that weighs less than a feather.

Guilty of suburbia. Not remotely worried about parking.
I hope it waits until Tuesday. I'm expecting long awaited dry powder on Monday.
