Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Tesla Inc is nearing the production and delivery milestone of its highly anticipated Cybertruck electric pickup truck, which has drawn attention for its unique design. A new book reveals that the original plans for the Cybertruck were different, with CEO Elon Musk and Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen initially designing the truck with curves and aluminum instead of sharp lines and stainless steel. Despite criticism of the design, investors and analysts see strong demand for the Cybertruck in the U.S. market for pickup trucks.
