The 0,000 Cybertruck needs some FSD love from Tesla, says Ross Gerber: ‘Would be nice to have the software’ – Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA)

Ross Gerberthe CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealthhas issued a public call for Tesla Inc. TSL willing to install software for fully autonomous driving in its $100,000 Cybertruck.

What happened: On Monday, Gerber took to social media platform X to express his desire for FSD in the soon-to-be-launched Cybertruck. The post comes amid anticipation of Tesla’s second-quarter delivery numbers, which are expected to show a year-over-year decline.

“FSD please for the Cybertruck. $100,000 truck. Would be nice to have the software…” Gerber wrote.

Why it is important: The timing of Gerber’s request coincides with a critical period for Tesla. Investors are eagerly awaiting the company’s quarterly results, with analyst consensus estimates at 441,000 deliveries in the second quarter. That update is expected to be released before the market opens on Tuesday.

However, some experts believe Tesla’s delivery numbers could fall short of these estimates. One expert stressed that while many auto companies report vehicle production and deliveries on a monthly or quarterly basis, Tesla’s numbers are tracked more closely than any other.

Ross Gerber has been outspoken about his concerns about Tesla’s growth strategy. In April, he predicted a challenging earnings report for the company and questioned whether the company could sell more cars with its current strategy.

In addition, Gerber is a strong supporter of Tesla’s fully autonomous driving technology, calling it a “life-saving” innovation. He has previously participated in public debates, defending the technology’s potential to save lives and prevent injuries.

Price Action: Tesla Inc. shares closed at $209.86 on Monday, up 6.05%. In after-hours trading, the stock rose 0.033%. Since the beginning of the year, Tesla shares have fallen 15.52%, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
