Tesla Cybertruck has a quarter of a million sales in less than a week

Tesla CEO Elon Musk treated us to another reservation update on twitter, letting us know that the Cybertruck has now broken 250,000 pre-orders.

The update comes less than a week after the truck’s reveal.

Not only is the new number huge for less than a week of sales, but the rate at which reservations are coming in seems to be holding strong.

Tesla got 41,000 reservations in ~23 hours between Saturday and Sunday.  This new number represents an increase of 50,000 in 49 hours since Musk’s last update on the matter.

That 50,000 reservations could be worth a minimum of $2 billion in potential revenue – if everyone follows through and orders the truck, even at base model prices.  Which they won’t, there will be dropouts and some will order higher option levels.

This represents a drop in reservation rate, as should be expected, but the point is that there are still a lot of people getting in line for this unreleased truck even after several days.  In general, especially with such a low, $100 bar of entry, one would expect takers to be quite front loaded.
