Some argue that the bent-stainless unibody design of the original Cybertruck prototype was a design for efficient low volume production. Then 1M pre-orders flooded in and they were forced to design for high volume production. Which is hard, and takes a lot of time. Those sales projections were based on pre-orders and deposits taken. Normally that's a fairly robust projection method, and perhaps would have been if the Cybertruck would have arrived on market in a timely fashion at the promised price. The big mistake with the Cybertruck was that promised $40K price tag. Without that the pre-orders likely would have much more closely matched sales.
