Does anyone have an estimate for how many of these will actually convert to sales? Ford I believe released numbers for one of their vehicles, something like 65

  Bronco Sport. Don’t know if deposit amount might have varied by dealer, but a quick Google says $100 refundable deposit (same as Tesla) was typical. https://www.motor1.com/news/496806/ford-bronco-pre-order-sales-conversion/ https://www.motor1.com/news/496806/ford-bronco-pre-order-sal... EDIT to add - Bronco Sport orders opened last July with the car going into production last October, so placing a reservation probably indicated some real level of interest in buying a car within a few months. For the Tesla, you have to figure a lot of people put $100 in (knowing it's refundable) to hold a place in line for god knows how long until the Cybertruck actually comes out, just in case they want one. They started taking reservations for these in 2019. It's been a while.
