Some relevant context (from the other post, seemingly removed):

- Model 3 deposit was $1000, ~300k pre-orders in a few days

- Model Y deposit was $2500, but pre-order numbers are still unreleased

- Cybertruck pre-order deposit is $100

- Many people are placing 3-5 orders per household [1] due to buggy pre-order forms

- Tesla explicitly states (now, not previously) that "pre-orders" are not "orders" [2]

- Many aspects of the vehicle and presentation are otherwise nonsensical [3]

Considering that the deposit was only $100 I think there would have been a lot of people who pre-ordered hoping that they’ll be able to save up the money by 2022. I reckon there will be quite a few cancellations closer to the time.
