In a nocturnal intrigue, Tesla momentarily raised the curtain on a heightened deposit for the Cybertruck, only to swiftly return to the original figure.
Was this a subtle overture, signaling a deposit adjustment in tandem with the Cybertruck's unfolding saga?
The Cybertruck, unveiled in 2019 amid spectacle and a memorable unbreakable window mishap, captured the limelight. Elon Musk proudly declared over 250,000 reservations within a mere week of the Cybertruck's revelation, a testament to its magnetic appeal.
Traditionally, Tesla experiences an initial surge in reservations post-unveiling, followed by a gradual tapering. The Cybertruck, however, defied this norm. Insider whispers during the pandemic revealed Tesla stores racking up hundreds of Cybertruck reservations weekly, with the pre-orders even acting as a catalyst for other Tesla vehicle sales.
As of 2021, a collaborative effort to tally Cybertruck reservations surpassed 1 million units. Fast forward two years, and the count surged to 2 million, with Musk confirming the figure had surpassed 1 million.
Yet, a shadow looms over this impressive feat – the meager refundable deposit set by Tesla at $100, a departure from the customary $1,000 for new vehicle reservations.
In a tantalizing move, Tesla, under the cloak of night, altered the Cybertruck's pre-order page, elevating the deposit to $250. Early risers reported the change, sparking intrigue and speculation.
However, as dawn broke, the ephemeral allure dissipated. Tesla, like a capricious muse, reverted to the familiar $100 deposit in the US ($150 CAD in Canada).
The motive behind this enigmatic adjustment and its swift retraction remains shrouded in mystery, leaving Tesla enthusiasts to ponder the cryptic dance of digits.
