There’s no doubt that the forthcoming Tesla Cybertruck has generated some talk in the electric vehicle (EV) community, but it has also garnered a massive number of reservations. According to one user-managed tally, the Cybertruck has topped two million reservations ahead of its official launch.
The Tesla Cybertruck appears to have surpassed two million customer reservations, according to a community-run Google Sheets reservation tracker created after the truck’s unveiling in 2019 (via electrek). At the time of writing, the sheet shows that 47,326 of the reservations were self-reported, and those entries can be seen under the page’s “Cybertruck” and “Other Reservations” tabs.
The data is based on a combination of self-reported reservations, the block of reservation numbers used and some of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s own statements, according to the sheet’s “Q&A” tab. Based on the number of reservations, the sheet also estimates a potential revenue of $152.13 billion and as much as $201 million in deposits alone.
Tesla Cybertruck’s early reservation holders will get Full Self-Driving for a steal
Out of the Cybertruck’s single-motor, dual-motor, tri-motor and quad-motor trims, the dual-motor is the most popular, with the tri-motor trailing behind as the second most popular. The single- and quad-motor trims both have significantly fewer reservations, accounting for just 8.12 and 8.65 percent of them, respectively.
In addition to trim percentages, the Google Sheet also includes data on reservation holders who added Full Self-Driving (FSD) to their Cybertruck purchase, representing just over 67 percent of the reservations.
You can see the full breakdown of trim categories and FSD add-ons at the time of writing below, straight from the Cybertruck reservation tracker.
| Trim | Trim Reservations | Percent Trim^ | Trim | FSD Reservation | Percent FSD |
| Single-Motor | 3532 | 8.12% | Single-Motor | 1691 | 47.88% |
| Dual-Motor | 21652 | 44.06% | Dual-Motor | 12808 | 59.15% |
| Tri-Motor | 20050 | 39.17% | Tri-Motor | 15868 | 79.14% |
| Quad Motor (started 12/4/21) | 1560 | 8.65% | Quad Motor (started 12/4/21) | 1075 | 68.91% |
| Any | 46794 | Any | 31442 | 67.19% |
^Percentages based on scaling Quad-Motor reservations
The Cybertruck reservation tracker reached a million units in 2021, and as many as 1.9 million units by July of this year. Musk has continually touted the Cybertruck’s strong demand, which he said earlier this year was “so off the hook, you can’t even see the hook.”
It’s worth noting that reservation holders can back out of their reservations at any time, and all that’s required to reserve a Cybertruck is a $100 refundable deposit. However, even if many reservation holders back out of purchasing the truck, the number of buyers would likely still be massive based on these figures.
As Tesla is still in pre-production for the Cybertruck, high demand will also equate to long wait times (not to mention that the vehicle was initially expected to begin deliveries in 2021). Still, this shows that many eagerly await the unique electric pickup, and recent pre-production Cybertruck sightings in the wild suggest that initial deliveries could be just around the corner.

Elon Musk’s Grokipedia surges to 5.6M articles, almost 79% of English Wikipedia
The explosive growth marks a major milestone for the AI-powered online encyclopedia, which was launched by Elon Musk’s xAI just months ago.
Elon Musk’s Grokipedia has grown to an impressive 5,615,201 articles as of today, closing in on 79% of the English Wikipedia’s current total of 7,119,376 articles.
The explosive growth marks a major milestone for the AI-powered online encyclopedia, which was launched by Elon Musk’s xAI just months ago. Needless to say, it would only be a matter of time before Grokipedia exceeds English Wikipedia in sheer volume.
Grokipedia’s rapid growth
xAI’s vision for Grokipedia emphasizes neutrality, while Grok’s reasoning capabilities allow for fast drafting and fact-checking. When Elon Musk announced the initiative in late September 2025, he noted that Grokipedia would be an improvement to Wikipedia because it would be designed to avoid bias.
At the time, Musk noted that Grokipedia “is a necessary step towards the xAI goal of understanding the Universe.”
Grokipedia was launched in late October, and while xAI was careful to list it only as Version 0.1 at the time, the online encyclopedia immediately earned praise. Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger highlighted the project’s innovative approach, noting how it leverages AI to fill knowledge gaps and enable rapid updates. Netizens also observed how Grokipedia tends to present articles in a more objective manner compared to Wikipedia, which is edited by humans.
Elon Musk’s ambitious plans
With 5,615,201 total articles, Grokipedia has now grown to almost 79% of English Wikipedia’s article base. This is incredibly quick, though Grokipedia remains text-only for now. xAI, for its part, has now updated the online encyclopedia’s iteration to v0.2.
Elon Musk has shared bold ideas for Grokipedia, including sending a record of the entire knowledge base to space as part of xAI’s mission to preserve and expand human understanding. At some point, Musk stated that Grokipedia will be renamed to Encyclopedia Galactica, and it will be sent to the cosmos.
“When Grokipedia is good enough (long way to go), we will change the name to Encyclopedia Galactica. It will be an open source distillation of all knowledge, including audio, images and video. Join xAI to help build the sci-fi version of the Library of Alexandria!” Musk wrote, adding in a later post that “Copies will be etched in stone and sent to the Moon, Mars and beyond. This time, it will not be lost.”

Tesla Model 3 becomes Netherlands’ best-selling used EV in 2025
More than one in ten second-hand electric cars sold in the country last year was a Tesla Model 3.
The Tesla Model 3 became the most popular used electric car in the Netherlands in 2025, cementing its dominance well beyond the country’s new-car market.
After years at the top of Dutch EV sales charts, the Model 3 now leads the country’s second-hand EV market by a wide margin, as record used-car purchases pushed electric vehicles further into the mainstream.
Model 3 takes a commanding lead
The Netherlands recorded more than 2.1 million used car sales last year, the highest level on record. Of those, roughly 4.8%, or about 102,000 vehicles, were electric. Within that growing segment, the Tesla Model 3 stood far ahead of its competitors.
In 2025 alone, 11,338 used Model 3s changed hands, giving the car an 11.1% share of the country’s entire used EV market. That means more than one in ten second-hand electric cars sold in the country last year was a Tesla Model 3, Auto Week Netherlands reported. The scale of its lead is striking: the gap between the Model 3 and the second-place finisher, the Volkswagen ID3, is more than 6,700 vehicles.
Rivals trail as residual values shape rankings
The Volkswagen ID.3 ranked a distant second, with 4,595 used units sold and a 4.5% market share. Close behind was the Audi e-tron, which placed third with 4,236 registrations. As noted by Auto Week Netherlands, relatively low residual values likely boosted the e-tron’s appeal in the used market, despite its higher original price.
Other strong performers included the Kia Niro, the Tesla Model Y, and the Hyundai Kona, highlighting continued demand for compact and midsize electric vehicles with proven range and reliability. No other model, however, came close to matching the Model 3’s scale or market presence.

Tesla Model Y Standard Long Range RWD launches in Europe
The update was announced by Tesla Europe & Middle East in a post on its official social media account on X.
Tesla has expanded the Model Y lineup in Europe with the introduction of the Standard Long Range RWD variant, which offers an impressive 657 km of WLTP range.
The update was announced by Tesla Europe & Middle East in a post on its official social media account on X.
Model Y Standard Long Range RWD Details
Tesla Europe & Middle East highlighted some of the Model Y Standard Long Range RWD’s most notable specs, from its 657 km of WLTP range to its 2,118 liters of cargo volume. More importantly, Tesla also noted that the newly released variant only consumes 12.7 kWh per 100 km, making it the most efficient Model Y to date.
The Model Y Standard provides a lower entry point for consumers who wish to enter the Tesla ecosystem at the lowest possible price. While the Model 3 Standard is still more affordable, some consumers might prefer the Model Y Standard due to its larger size and crossover form factor. The fact that the Model Y Standard is equipped with Tesla’s AI4 computer also makes it ready for FSD’s eventual rollout to the region.
Top Gear’s Model Y Standard review
Top Gear‘s recent review of the Tesla Model Y Standard highlighted some of the vehicle’s most notable features, such as its impressive real-world range, stellar infotainment system, and spacious interior. As per the publication, the Model Y Standard still retains a lot of what makes Tesla’s vehicles well-rounded, even if it’s been equipped with a simplified interior.
Top Gear compared the Model Y Standard to its rivals in the same segment. “The introduction of the Standard trim brings the Model Y in line with the entry price of most of its closest competition. In fact, it’s actually cheaper than a Peugeot e-3008 and costs £5k less than an entry-level Audi Q4 e-tron. It also makes the Ford Mustang Mach-E look a little short with its higher entry price and worse range,” the publication wrote.
