The Cybertruck is one of the most highly anticipated vehicles of our generation. The truck has over 1 million reservations, whereas the annual Cybertruck production run rate remains below 50,000.
Tesla says Cybertruck production should reach 250,000 trucks yearly when fully ramped. With over 1 million reservations, this means that even at peak output, it’ll take Tesla 4 years to clear through the current backlog.
Optimistically, if Tesla achieves full production in 2025, then Cybertruck will be sold out until 2028.

This naturally raises the question – what if you are a Tesla enthusiast and don’t want to wait that long to get delivery of your Cybertruck?
Luckily, a few hours ago, Tesla introduced a loophole that should allow you to do exactly that.
Tesla added a new reward to the company’s referral program: Now, you can spend 30,000 credits to accelerate your Cybertruck delivery.
Describing the award, Tesla writes…
Redeem referral credits to accelerate your Cybertruck delivery. Be invited to configure and take delivery of your Foundation Series All Wheel Drive or Cyberbeast within 45 days of redemption. If you miss your chance to claim, check back later – additional accelerated deliveries will be added.
Tesla then added some restrictions on this award, stating that there is one Cybertruck limit per account and that this referral reward is not transferable to another individual.
To receive 30,000 credits, you will have to refer three people to buy a Tesla vehicle. This is not an easy task for regular individuals; however, it should be a breeze for public personalities who post their referral links next to their content.
Naturally, giving select individuals a way to skip the line and get their Cybertrucks early has not gone down well with everyone.
Several Cybertruck reservation holders have expressed their disappointment in Tesla's decision. However, in the EV maker’s defense, Tesla is dealing with a big flipper issue regarding the Cybertruck.
Since wait times for the Cybertruck are exceedingly long and interest is high, scalpers have been buying a Cybertruck and flipping the vehicle for twice its starting price without adding any value.
By allowing people who have referred three individuals to buy a Tesla to get ahead in the Cybertruck lines, Tesla appears to Be looking to rein in the scalper problem.
Currently, this is all the information we have regarding the Cybertruck referral award. However, we’ll be sure to keep you posted if we learn more about the situation. Until then, visit our site, torquenews.com/Tesla, regularly for the latest updates.
