Tesla Cybertruck orders now open to everyone as reservation depleted

Tesla announced its Cybertruck in 2019 and before launching it in late 2023 collected reservations from buyers with refundable $100 deposits. They were so numerous that it would take years to fullfil them, but it appears that few of them were actually converted.

Starting today anyone can open Tesla's configurator and order a Cybertruck without needing a reservation. That's a sign that Tesla has cleared its backlog and that you no longer have to wait for an invite. The current wait time is listed as October-November, so deliveries aren't taking very long either.

This also marks the end of the Foundation Series, the limited-edition trim of the Cybertruck. Instead, the company is now offering the cheapest trim, asking $79,990. It officially launched earlier this month and reports suggest it's racking up sales.

Tesla said it had about 2 million reservations for its Cybertruck, but recent reports claim that the company was able to ship only around 30,000 units. Perhaps it's hardly surprising, though, seeing how the final product has half the range promised at the announcement and costs twice as much while having far lower payload capacity.
