Things aren't looking good for Elon Musk's cybertruck.
Still, Thursday’s unveiling generated a ton of press, and Musk might ultimately achieve his stated goal of revolutionizing trucks as we know them. We’ll find out if all that publicity turns into sales when Tesla starts manufacturing the Cybertruck in late 2021. Musk for one, is confident.
“When we unveil this thing, there will be some people who are like, ‘Oh, that doesn’t look like a truck; I don’t want to buy it,’” he said. “It’s like when they came out with automobiles, people were like, ‘Oh, I like a horse and carriage.’ Sure, O.K., you can stick with your horse and carriage, but you’re going to get an automobile later. You just don’t know it.”
