<h2>‘I'm Keeping It For Now,' Ross Gerber Says</h2>



On Sunday, a user on the social media platform X, Miss Jilianne, shared a post criticizing the EV giant's all-electric pickup truck. She claimed that almost every &#34;Tesla influencer&#34; returned the Cybertruck &#34;due to mechanical issues&#34; with the vehicle. She did not elaborate on what the issues were in the post.

Responding to the post, Gerber shared that he would be holding on to his Cybertruck. &#34;I have not had any issues with my Cybertruck,&#34; the investor shared, adding that he would be &#34;keeping it for now&#34; as he likes it.

<h2>Tesla Cybertruck's Poor Run</h2>



Tesla, in Q3 2025, sold just 5,385 Cybertruck units in the U.S., which illustrated a 62.6% YoY decline for the pickup truck.  The EV giant is also reportedly sitting on tens of thousands of unsold units of the truck, with the affordable RWD Long-Range version of the pickup doing little to improve sales figures. Gerber had also called on Tesla to discontinue the vehicle altogether.



<h2>Ross Gerber's FSD Woes</h2>



Gerber, on the other hand, also recently shared his experience with Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, saying that the technology wouldn't work well in the rain with its vision-based approach, as it mistook raindrops for debris on the FSD camera. &#34;Not sure of teslas plans if FSD doesn't work well in rain or direct sunlight…&#34; Gerber said.



It's also worth noting that the investor had earlier hailed the improvements made by Tesla to the FSD system with the FSD v14 update. &#34;This version is a big step up from 13 which was not good,&#34; he said of the v14 update. However, Tesla's poor sales have drawn concern from Gerber, who thinks that the company may never make GAAP profits ever again.
