Elon Musk says the Tesla Cybertruck could flop when it eventually goes on sale, this is because of its weird design and size.
The truck is going up against GM’s Hummer EV and the popular F-150 pickup which is a country favorite.
Musk responded to an inquiry from Tesla Owners Online about the Cybertruck on Twitter, predicting the Cybertruck will be “a huge hit.” Later on, he says
“To be frank, there is always some chance that Cybertruck will flop because it is so unlike anything else.”
He waved off the remark with even if it fails it won’t hurt him, saying “I love it so much even if others don’t.”
He said further“other trucks look like copies of the same thing … Cybertruck looks like it was made by aliens from the future.”
Earlier this week, he announced rear-wheel steering for the truck’s practicality, maneuvering tight corners.
In the same tweet, Musk mentioned that a “lot of other great things coming” to the Cybertruck and in his typical fashion barely spilled any milk.
