This thing is a publicity stunt, clearly meant to try and draw attention away from the Mach-E (which is certainly a direct competitor to the Model Y), and try and make people forget about Rivian. We have previously seen how good Tesla is at hitting preset pricepoints ($35k Model 3 anyone?), plus there is no actual production date set for the pinewood derby Tesla truck.
The only people that I foresee actually buying these will be Instagram/Youtube influencers, and they are only doing it for the clout. Much like how they hit 150,000 preorders... I can't tell you how much of my social media feeds are flooded with people screenshotting and posting the little reservation owl, just for the likes and lulz.
