Investors in Tesla are voicing their concerns as the company's highly anticipated Cybertruck faces more and more criticism and malfunctions. The long-delayed and pricey electric truck, starting at $80,000, has encountered various problems shortly after hitting the roads.

Cybertruck Owners Faced With More Malfunctions

According to a report from the New York Post, owners of the Cybertruck have shared their grievances on forums, detailing issues such as the vehicle dying after traveling short distances, random braking incidents, and even corrosion. One owner in Southern California lamented, "Tesla really rushed these trucks out, what a nightmare."

Furthermore, concerns have been raised about the functionality of the vehicle's auto-pilot feature, with one user recounting a potentially dangerous incident where the truck suddenly braked on a highway.

One owner said this about his vehicle in a forum: "made it 1 mile down road, started getting steering error, flashing red screen, pulled off side of highway now the truck is dead and I'm waiting for a tow truck."

Tesla Investors Slam 'Part-Time CEO' Elon Musk

Meanwhile, CEO Elon Musk's attention has been diverted to controversial topics on social media, leading some shareholders to express frustration with his priorities. According to Jalopnik, some investors are critical of Musk's focus on divisive issues rather than Tesla's core mission.

Fred Lambert, CEO of Electrek, commented on the situation: "The feedback loop is completely broken and now Elon is basking in the praise of his super fans while branding all legitimate criticism as attacks."

Speaking with Fortune, Lambert believes Musk made a strategic error by prioritizing the expensive stainless steel Cybertruck over a promised $25,000 entry model, indicative of a growing divide within the community. 

Some fans, like New Zealand YouTuber Lee, have turned critical, citing Musk's unfulfilled promises, slow progress with battery technology, and diversion into robotics and meme cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin. 

Lee suspects Musk's actions aimed to boost stock prices to meet milestone targets of his compensation package, reflecting disappointment in Tesla's direction under Musk's leadership.
