On Thursday, November 21, Tesla unveiled its new product Cybertruck. As expected, we immediately saw a wave of negativity from some media, which, however, apart from the negative about Tesla, never tried to publish articles with an objective look about it. In general, there is nothing new or unexpected in this, a number of individual journalists and publications are aimed only at presenting Tesla in a negative context.
We, unlike them, will be objective and look at the facts.
We all know that Tesla does not invest in advertising. But, any of you who read the news, use any social networks or watch TV, already saw Tesla Cybertruk many times. Tesla does not need to invest in advertising, everyone is talking about it all the time. The name of the company is literally always on hearing.
Well, a few hours ago, Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that at the time of writing his tweet, there are 146,000 orders for Cybertruk. 42% of customers ordered a dual motor, 41% tri motors and 17% a single motor.

To date, the Ford F-Series dominates the pickup market in the US. Ford firmly stuck in the head of some consumers. If we consider the line of Ford pickups, we see that all the trucks are almost the same. And the outside observer it seems that Ford froze in time.
Ford pickup buyers every 6-10 years just buy a newer Ford pickup truck. This is not surprising. The target audience of pickup manufacturers is 50+ male.
According to CleanTechnica, the demographics of pickup owners look like this:
- Ford F150 — 84% male / 16% female, average age 55.
- Chevrolet Silverado — 84% male / 16% female, average age 54.
- Ram 1500 — 81% male / 19% female, average age 50.
- Toyota Tundra — 83% male / 17% female, average age 54.
Cybertruck is attracting more and more people around the world. It has a unique futuristic design that draws attention and blows our minds. Such an appearance will surely attract the attention of a much younger audience. And it works! The Cybertruck has performance characteristics that are significantly better than other pickups. Cybertruck also can boasts unprecedented acceleration. Tesla Cybertruck Tri-motor AWD has an acceleration of 0-60 miles in 2.9 seconds, which is faster than Porsche 911!
Today, young people are increasingly worried about the environment. That is why, in addition to sedan electric cars, the world so badly needs an electric pickup. This is what people want. And in confirmation of this there are numbers.
In the first 2 days after the Tesla presentation, Model 3 received 276,000 pre-orders. During the same period of time, Tesla Cybertruk received 146,000 orders! This is really impressive.

Cybertruck has an impressive effect. A lot of people who were not at all interested in buying a pickup truck now made an order for it already after few hours after presentation!!! Because it is a revolutionary product (like any other Tesla product). Some people have ordered more than one Cybertruck.
It’s funny that Tesla haters keep saying nobody wanna order the CyberTruck😂😂😂

I just ordered another CyberTruck (dual motor+FSD) for company use. My first one is a Tri Motor+FSD$TSLA #Tesla #CyberTruck pic.twitter.com/A1fC9ZEIfS
I believe that Cybertruck will have an effect in the world, the same as Model 3, because Cybertruck is the future. This is a clean future, where old foundations, like passion for gas-powered cars are destroyed, where people seek to care for the environment and do not compromise with those who are trying to destroy our planet. This is the future in which people get super-efficient cars with an impressive design and at competitive prices. This is the future in which we are all happy.
