Originally set for a 2021 launch, the vehicle suffered several delays and setbacks before its eventual 2023 launch. The film βBlade Runnerβ and the James Bond vehicle from βThe Spy Who Loved Meβ inspired the design.
The vehicleβs unique design and fans of Tesla and Musk have led to strong demand. A week after the unveiling, Tesla reported 250,000 reservations, via a $100 deposit. In recent comments, Tesla has said there are over one million reservations for the vehicle. Third-party estimates put the estimate closer to two million units reserved.
With the Cybertruck, Tesla added another vehicle class to compete with Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F), General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) and Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN).
