Tesla, Inc.

What Happened: A Tesla influencer, known by the Twitter handle @TeslaSynopsis, shared a captivating video displaying both the front and rear views of the Cybertruck. 

Accompanied by the caption, “Here’s your dose of Cybertruck,” the video appears to have been filmed at the Giga Texas site, with a glimpse of a factory worker in motion.

Why It Matters: The significance of the Cybertruck’s progress stems from Tesla’s recent decline in deliveries amid economic uncertainties. Despite the company’s efforts, including aggressive price cuts, its sales have been lackluster. 

However, analysts anticipate that the Cybertruck could rejuvenate Tesla’s volume figures. Gary Black from Future Fund predicts a fourth-quarter launch for the Cybertruck, projecting a unit potential of over 250,000 by 2024. 

Even “Shark Tank”-fame Kevin O’Leary recognizes the appeal of the Cybertruck, referring to it as a “very interesting” vehicle and acknowledging the immense demand surrounding it. 

Price Action: Tesla’s stock closed Tuesday’s session at $185.77, representing a 1.64% decrease, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
