187,000 pre-orders as of Sunday, CEO Elon Musk tweets -- for nearly $19 million in deposits.
Tesla Inc.’s “Cybertruck” may have drawn scoffs at its unveiling, and it is almost certainly not street legal, but the electric-car company still racked up nearly $19 million during the first three days of pre-orders.
At $100 per pre-order deposit, that’s about $18.7 million so far — although Tesla says that money is fully refundable for prospective customers. Production is scheduled to begin in late 2021, though Tesla said the tri-motor version won’t start production until late 2022.The pickup’s unveiling Thursday night drew sharply divided first impressions, with some saying it resembled a stealth bomber or a “Mad Max” vehicle. But the Cybertruck’s looks will likely change significantly before it ever hits the streets.
