alt Hacker NewsThe original design is what gave them millions of pre-orders, it was the reduction in range and increase in cost that made most people cancel those pre-orders.

I wonder how many people liked the design vs tolerated it? If Ford offered a cybertruck trim on the F-150 without changing the price would people buy it?
No doubt there is some demand for an "out there" design, but I'd have to guess that the projected $40K price was itself a large part of the attraction.

The design looks much better rendered on screen than in real life.
I thought the early images looked amazing but I see them all the time in real life (a few people in my neighborhood own them) and they just look so stupid on the road.

A $100 fully refundable deposit is not a very high bar of commitment. I suspect many of those reservations were non-serious.
