Well I'd say that's the whole point of revealing the truck 2 years early and accepting deposits now. It's a gauge of demand, so that production preparation can be made accordingly.

I still don't know why people put deposits down since they are utterly useless. Those that put $1000 deposits down day one for a Model 3 had to wait a year to purchase the $35k version, if that's the one they wanted, and by that time the federal tax credit had been cut in half to $3750... then Tesla cut prices across the board.

OK, I get being excited for something and wanting to support it. If I were serious about owning a CyberTruck maybe I'd put a hundo down just to be able to say I had a deposit and strike up enthusiastic conversation with people.
