Ross Gerber Has a Change of Heart?
In a post on X on Saturday, the investor, who is a vocal proponent of electric vehicles, shared that he admired his Cybertruck, calling it a “controversial” opinion. “I do like my Tesla cybertruck more than my Rivian. Especially how I use it. Great summer vehicle,” the investor said.
He also said that he was looking forward to new models from Rivian, as well as the R2 crossover SUV and the Jeff Bezos-backed Slate Auto‘s customizable EV pickup truck priced at $25,000.
Tesla’s FSD Still Not Good Enough
However, despite backing the Cybertruck, the investor took a swipe at Tesla’s autonomous driving pursuits, saying that the company’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology should be renamed as “pretty good self-driving” or “PGSD.”
Tesla’s AI Chief, Ashok Elluswamy, had said that the system could receive improvements as Tesla was working on natural-language voice commands for precise drop-off locations.
