Tesla CEO, Elon Musk has been talking about an EV pickup truck since 2012. When the Cybertruck was unveiled in November 2019, many had mixed feelings about its design. Still, Musk said in an earnings call that more than 1 million people had ordered the truck. But sales have been underwhelming as many of the promises about its specs haven't come to fruition. CNBC's Robert Ferris dove into to see why the Cybertruck hasn't lived up to its initial hype.
