Tesla founder is disappointed canceled $25K EV and made 'dumpster-looking' truck

9 months ago

Martin Eberhard, Tesla's original co-founder, is disappointed with Elon Musk canceling the $25,000 electric car program in favor of the Cybertruck.
Tesla's founding story involves multiple co-founders, including Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, with Elon Musk joining later as an investor and chairman.
Eberhard and Tarpenning laid out Tesla's early business plan, including the Roadster, Model S/X, and mass-market models like the Model 3/Y.
Eberhard criticizes Tesla's decision to cancel the low-end car program, calling the Cybertruck a 'dumpster-looking' vehicle.
He expresses skepticism about Tesla's Robotaxi Model 2 (Cybercab) and criticizes the company's approach to autonomous driving.
Eberhard also finds Tesla's latest car designs uninspired, aside from his dislike for the Cybertruck.
