On the eve of the Tesla Cybertruck delivery event, Carter Braxton Worth, a well-known Wall Street technology analyst and founder and CEO of Worth Charting, expressed doubts about the success of this electric pickup truck. Voss said of the Cybertruck in an interview: "I think it's cool until one day you walk into the garage and realize, 'Oh my gosh, that thing is ugly,' and then you never drive it again."
In this interview, two other analysts likened the Cybertruck to the "Apple Newton" of electric vehicles, referring to Apple's unsuccessful handheld personal digital assistant launched in 1992.
When it comes to Tesla's stock performance, Vos noted, "It's the same level it was three years ago, with a lot of volatility, but no real progress."
Voss isn't the only one to criticize the Cybertruck's design. Others, including "Shark Tank" investor Kevin O'Leary and famed car designer Frank Stephenson, have expressed similar sentiments. Ford Motor Company CEO Jim Farley has also said that he sees the Cybertruck as a "cool high-end product parked in front of a hotel" rather than a product designed for "people who actually do real jobs."
However, Vos's remarks caused dissatisfaction among Tesla fans. Electric vehicle analyst Sawyer Merritt commented: "Cybertruck's pre-orders are estimated to reach 2.1 million vehicles, and total revenue may reach US$150 billion. If only 40% is converted into orders, that is still more than US$50 billion."
