The “preorders” for the truck were $250 and were refundable. They basically just held your spot in line and allowed you the option to order at a certain time.
Also, I could be wrong, but I don’t think you could preorder the tent.
It said it changed since the Cybertruck reveal in 2019, and when then tent arrived for sale 3 months ago, it was different than the original reveal concept.
I don’t believe you were able to preorder the tent during the reveal. You could only reserve an order spot for the truck, and you could back out of that reservation if you changed your mind.
If you didn’t like changes that were made to the truck or the accessories between reveal and launch, you could totally get your $250 back and walk over to the Rivian store.
The product became ‘Basecamp’ and was released for sale shortly after Tesla revealed the production version of the truck last year. It already seemed to be a lot less attractive design at that point. Now, Tesla has started shipping, or rather installing, the Basecamp for early Cybertruck owners.
(Emphasis mine) made me think it got worse after the design changes at sale time, but maybe I misinterpreted it.
Here are the press shots from when it was announced for sale at the of end last year. They’re the press shots they’re still using to promote the product 3 months later.
The article is basically saying that when the tent was announced for sale, the design changed and it was much less exciting than the early concepts. Some people bought them anyway, fully knowing that they were no longer something with stainless steel sides.
Now that they have arrived, the reality of the lacklusterness has now really set in.
Stop preordering unreleased things.
Don’t preorder games or unreleased cars.

The article at least implies there were changes between the time you could buy and the time they were shipping.
