Tesla Cybertruck Gets So Much Media Flak Because 'All Eyes' Are On It, Says Auto Journalist: 'TikTok Servers Would Explode' If F-150 Snow Struggles Got Same Attention
Portfolio Pulse from Anan Ashraf
Automotive journalist Jason Cammisa discussed the negative media coverage of Tesla's Cybertruck, attributing it to high consumer interest. He noted that if every struggle of an F-150 in snow was posted, it would overwhelm TikTok, highlighting the scrutiny on the Cybertruck. A video of a Cybertruck stuck in snow raised concerns about its off-road capabilities. Gene Munster of Deepwater Asset Management expressed confidence that Tesla will resolve the issue, emphasizing the importance of the Cybertruck's performance in snowy regions. Elon Musk has stated that over a million people have reserved the Cybertruck, but its delivery target of 250,000 units may be delayed until 2025.
