One of the topics that is sure to make its way to dinner conversations across the U.S. this holiday season will be about Tesla’s Cybertruck. Elon Musk unveiled and announced last week the car company, Tesla, would begin to take orders on their latest entry into the electric vehicle market. Musk’s presentation at the LA Auto Show created quite a buzz, both in the room and on most forms of news outlets.
National news stations, business news, and bloggers with audiences as diverse as tech, hot rods, and even Congressman Thomas Massie, expressed strong opinions on both the vehicle and the announcement. Some of the reports raved about the design and the way the Cybertruck was revealed. Others made fun of the truck and aspects of his demonstration. Watercooler debates about both the style and delivery quickly ensued in workplaces throughout the country.
Should Tesla have tailored the design and presentation to be more in line with traditional car show announcements?
