The pre-order for the pickup truck is now at 1.9 million.

The rolling out of thefirst Cybertruck production modelat its factory in Texas was the biggest news from Tesla this month. While that sounded like the end of a long wait, acrowd-sourced data trackersuggested prospective buyers might have to wait for five years before receiving their unit.

The tracker revealed that there are now over 1.9 million orders for the unconventional-looking pickup truck. This data reflects Tesla CEO Elon Musk's statement regarding the massive demand for theCybertruck, saying it is "so off the hook, you can't even see the hook."

Of note, the pre-order deposit is only $100, so not every reservation will likely push through with ordering.

The reservation equates to $194 million in total revenue, with the dual-motor variant projected to bring the most cash flow to the company at 43.9 percent. The tri-motor and quad-motor variants, respectively, follow it. As for the single motor variant, it only accounts for 8.2 percent of the said total revenue.
