In three of the videos, a Cybertruck appears to struggle to gain traction up a steep and uphill slope and with some turns on the sandy terrain. In one video, the Cybertruck appears to spin its wheels and the tires screech as it struggles to get up a dirt hill.

Elon Musk took several jabs at Mark Zuckerberg and Meta while on Joe Rogan's podcast. I mean, Zuck himself doesn't post," Musk said of Twitter rival Threads. Zuckerberg usually posts on Threads every one to two weeks, a far cry from Musk's daily posts on X. Besides trashing Meta, Musk touched on a wide variety of topics, ranging from Tesla's Cybertruck to the courtroom sketches of disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. "Yeah, it's eerily quiet," Musk said after host Joe Rogan called Threads a "ghost town" despite its record-breaking launch.

Tesla's Cybertruck is displayed at Manhattan's Meatpacking District in New York City, U.S., May 8, 2021. REUTERS/Jeenah Moon/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 18 (Reuters) - Tesla (TSLA.O) CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday warned of difficulties in ramping up production of the automaker's much-awaited Cybertruck electric pickup truck and announced that deliveries would begin on Nov. 30. The Cybertruck is expected to challenge Rivian's (RIVN.O) R1T, Ford's (F.N) F-150 Lightning and General Motors' (GM.N) Chevrolet Silverado EV in the hot market for electric pickup trucks. Musk said he wanted "temper expectations" for the truck, adding the company could face "enormous challenges" in ramping up production and making it cash-flow positive. "But I think that they're giving us an indication of the capacity they're going to make available for the Cybertruck as production ramps up."

In 2021, all that information vanished from Tesla's website, leaving future customers in the dark about their dream truck's eventual price. AdvertisementAdvertisementMusk tempers expectations about an affordable CybertruckOn Tesla's earnings call on Wednesday, Musk attempted to dispel any expectations of an accessible Cybertruck — at least initially. The more trucks Tesla can churn out of its Texas Gigafactory, the cheaper it can sell each one for. And Musk said he foresees "enormous challenges" in ramping up Cybertruck production, mainly because the unusual truck requires new manufacturing processes. Tesla's website says the Cybertruck will offer up to 500 miles of range and hit 60 mph in a brisk 2.9 seconds.

Tesla's Cybertruck is closer than ever, so we asked three experts on car design what they think about it. AdvertisementAdvertisementTo some, the upcoming Tesla Cybertruck looks like a clumsily designed, doorstop-shaped monstrosity. Instead of mimicking the upright, boxy shape of conventional pickups, Tesla's truck looks more like a triangle. "In car design, you wouldn't believe how much of a difference some small changes make," Licata said. Simplicity and purity are hallmarks of timeless design, Snyder said, and Tesla's wacky truck could fit the bill.

Tesla Cybertruck orderers are anxiously awaiting their vehicles. Between its stainless steel panels, interesting proportions, and other quirks, the design of the Cybertruck has industry experts scratching their heads. It goes to show that Cybertruck buyers still don't exactly know what they're getting into, with such little spec information available and uncertainty about pricing and delivery timelines. Regardless, it's not unusual for today's Cybertruck images to differ slightly from previously released photos. Walter Isaacson, who's working on a new biography of Elon Musk, recently posted images that appear to show early Cybertruck designs.

That makes it even more important to give loyal truck buyers some details to work with. "If you're looking to convert average pickup truck buyers to something different, that's a little harder," Fiorani said.

Musk is making further moves to thrust Tesla into the mainstream by entering the US market's lucrative pickup truck market. It's also a tough time to release any new product, especially an electric pickup truck. While Cybertruck is poised to go after a more unique set of pickup truck buyers, the company could face more trouble than it's used to converting existing truck buyers to the brand. Cybertruck will also face a tightening new vehicle market, with customers who are spending less on unnecessary purchases and gravitating toward more practical vehicles. "The nature of trucks is to work within this network of aftermarket companies out there – it will be interesting to see if Elon plays along."
