Tesla has received 200,000 preorders for its all-electric Cybertruck, chief executive Elon Musk said Sunday, three days after the futuristic vehicle’s grand reveal went viral when its supposedly unbreakable windows shattered onstage.
With an angular design, a stainless steel “exoskeleton” and an overall look that some fans have called “post apocalyptic,” the Cybertruck stands out from the typical pickup truck. It’s Tesla’s effort to break into a market dominated by Ford, showcased on the heels of Ford’s unveiling of a fully electric Mustang.
Demand for the Cybertruck comes despite “no advertising & no paid endorsement,” Musk tweeted Saturday. In an update Sunday, he said preorders had reached 200,000.
