Who cares if it will sell or not, the CyberTruck is just so freaking epic and incredible to look at!

Let’s get it straight.

2 million of anything is already good to begin with.

2M dollars? Perfection.

2M hotcakes? Wonderous.

2M reservations for the Cybertruck? Its a good fiscal year!

Elon has drummed up so much about the Cybertruck.

Among Musk’s fleet of innovations, the Cybertruck has become a monolith of modern vehicular design.

It break every norm of a truck you can imagine.

It’s not merely a truck; it’s a statement, a rugged emblem of what the future holds.

The aesthetic is polarizing, yet the anticipation surrounding it is electrifying.

Its wide, very angular, almost like a spaceship on wheels and its so jarring to look at on the road!

When news of the CyberTruck first came out, eveyone lost their minds.

The recent tally suggests a whopping 2 million reservations for the Cybertruck.

Each truck is $100 in deposit.

That’s easily $200M in cash flow just from pre-orders of the Cybertruck alone!

Hallelujah!

This isn’t mere enthusiasm or gimmick; it’s a bonfire of consumer trust and curiosity.

What’s jaw-dropping is the revenue generated even before a single truck has hit the roads.

It’s not just about the numbers; it’s about the message it sends to competitors and the market at large.

Elon is saying: I haven’t done trucks yet, but just watch me!

Sure the windows aren’t exactly bulletproof, but our faith in Elon is marrow-deep.

But this isn’t Musk’s first rodeo with pre-orders.

Remember the flamethrowers and perfume?

Those were whimsical products, almost an April Fool’s joke.

Yet the pre-orders soared, and they sold out like hotcakes.

It wasn’t about the utility of a flamethrower or new scent; it was about being part of something unconventional and exciting.

Fans of Elon and Tesla loves that.

With the Cybertruck, it’s a similar narrative but on a grander scale.

The pre-order strategy isn’t novel, but the way Musk orchestrates it is nothing short of a maestro leading an orchestra.

The essence of this strategy is the cultivation of anticipation and trust.

Elon is one of the few person alive who can pre-sell anything, from flamethrowers to perfumes, he has done it all.

It’s not just about booking revenue or selling a dream; it’s about building a community eagerly awaiting to be part of a groundbreaking narrative.

Musk’s pre-order strategy is a blend of bold vision and smart economics.

It’s a lesson in building hype that’s substantive, not hollow.

He has 160M followers on X.

And he knows how to monetise and get them to take action.

Thats crazy.

What’s fascinating is the ripple effect.

It’s not just about Tesla.

It’s about how this model can be a blueprint for others, a lesson in not just creating products but creating waves of anticipation and understanding your fans.

Even AI can’t come up with a cooler looking futuristic EV Truck!

It’s a masterclass in how a visionary product, coupled with a meticulously crafted pre-order strategy, can create a vortex of excitement and engagement.

This journey from flamethrowers to Cybertrucks isn’t just a business evolution; it’s a study in audacious entrepreneurship.

It’s about having the courage to not just dream big but to catalyze those dreams into palpable anticipation in the market.

To be able to make $200M from pre-orders of one vehicle that hasn’t hit the market yet.

Elon takes risks like no other.

I am thankful he exists.

We get to see what 1000% craziness looks like.
