According to a crowdsourced reservation tracker, the Tesla Cybertruck has amassed an incredible 1.5 million pre-orders - almost one-and-a-half times Tesla’s annual production capacity.

An online tracker built by Tesla fan group Tesla Reservation Tracker estimates there are more than 1.5 million worth global pre-orders for long-awaited Tesla Cybertruck. This figure is, however, fully refundable.

If the reservation tracker's estimates are correct, orders for the Tesla Cybertruck are almost one-and-a-half times greater than the US electric-car manufaturer's annual production capacity. That's why it's unlikely that all these pre-orders will translate into actual sales for the brand.

Last year, Tesla reported it produced more than 936,000 electric cars. Between January and September 2022, the company claims to have produced approximately 908,000 vehicles.

After Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, unveiled the Cybertruck in late 2019 as a concept to much fanfare, electric-car loyalists were able to put down a deposit on the car. According to reports earlier this month, however, mass production of the Tesla Cybertruck won't begin until the end of 2023.
