What Happened: Net reservations for Cybertruck have now crossed the two million-threshold, showed data from crowd-sourced online reservation tracker.
The Cybertruck was first announced by Tesla CEO Elon Musk in late 2019. The company missed the initially-communicated launch deadline amid the COVID-19 pandemic and other geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties.
Reservations hit the one million-mark in May 2021 and have doubled from the level in a little over a year. In late July, Benzinga reported that reservations increased to 1,943,876 units.
