Based on the lie about how much it would cost, how many they could produce, and how soon they would be delivered...

Even very ugly cars will sell if they give you a really good deal for the money. The Cybertruck at $39,999 was a shockingly good deal. It was just a lie.

No one is arguing that, but in turn you cant argue there was real buzz and popularity of the product on announcement. Whether that was caused by a lie or not is irrelevant, it was popular big time before anyone knew what the real product was going to be like.
