this is quite the mental gymnastics. this is a brand new vehicle that is unlike anything they've offered in the past. they have historical data on conversion for the Tesla 3 preorders with a $1000 deposit. now they're offering preorders on something that is more expensive and "unique" for 1/10th the preorder amount. how would a business intelligence analyst on their team even begin to predict how many of these customers actually intend to convert given the data they have? If they actually wanted a rough idea on how many people actually intend to order in order to plan how many resources they need to throw at cybertruck production then they've done everything possible to make their job harder with the preorder decisions they've made.
