For customers to “climb trees” for 2 years, Tesla still pocketed $ 1.5 billion thanks to this car model

The online order tracking platform said that the Tesla Cybertruck has received more than 1.5 million orders. This is a desirable number in the history of the auto industry, when many consumers are willing to spend money to buy without knowing when they will receive their car.

Tesla’s story for customers “climbing the tree” has finally come to an end when Cybertruck has been set by the company to start rolling out of the factory at the end of 2023.

1.5 million orders means Tesla made $1.5 billion before selling a Cybertruck as each customer had to put down a $100 deposit to buy the car.

However, this dream number will also cause Tesla to have many big problems when all orders are not binding, customers can completely request a refund or return the order at any time. In addition, Elon Musk also admitted that the initial $40,000 starting price is no longer viable, it will be interesting to see how many orders translate into revenue.

Earlier in the year, Tesla began shutting down ordering sites and returning existing orders to customers in Australia, which apparently accounts for a third of all orders. The company will focus at least on the North American market for the next few years but will continue to have difficulty delivering the Cybertruck on time.

Thus, if no customer cancels the order, it will take a long time for Tesla to complete the number of orders for the Cybertruck model. While the company’s oldest plant located in Fremont has reached a total production of 2 million vehicles this year after 12 years of operation. Although many factories have been built around the world, temporarily only US facilities will be able to assemble Cybertruck because of the supply of components.

It is known that Elon Musk introduced Tesla’s first electric pickup truck in November 2019. Three days after the announcement, the Tesla CEO took to Twitter and boasted that Tesla had received 200,000 orders for its Cybertruck electric pickup model. More than two years later, customers who pre-ordered Cybertruck for $ 100 in 2019 are still waiting to get their hands on Tesla’s new electric car.

Cybertruck has an overall length x width x height of 5885 x 2030 x 1905 mm, respectively. The chassis used by the Cybertruck introduced by Elon Musk is almost impenetrable thanks to the construction of Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled super-hard stainless steel that is able to eliminate microcracks and corrosion.

Seen from the side, Cybertruck has a fairly simple structure with the top half being a triangle while the bottom half is a rectangle. The side glass of Cybertruck is made up of 3mm thick layers of super tempered glass combined with up to 9mm polymer composite panels.

Cybertruck’s cockpit has a very simple design, the dashboard surface only appears a huge 17-inch touch screen without any buttons or air-conditioning vents. Cybertruck’s steering wheel has a very special structure with 2 spokes, users will have to spend a lot of time getting used to this new steering wheel.

Tesla Cybertruck has a total of 3 versions including one engine, 2 engines and 3 engines. The first is a single-engine version with a range of 402 km and the ability to accelerate from 0-100km / h in 6.5 seconds before reaching a maximum speed of 177 km / h.

Next is the version using 2 engines capable of traveling a distance of 482 km with the ability to accelerate from 0-100km / h in 4.5 seconds. Top speed reaches 193 km/h.

Finally, the most powerful version uses 3 engines with a range of up to 805 km. This version can accelerate from 0-100km / h in just 2.9 seconds, the achievement is no different from a super sports car. The maximum speed of the car can reach up to 210 km / h.
