'Beautiful Truck:' Tesla Investor Ross Gerber Praises 'Nice People At Rivian' For Fulfilling R1S Order Even As His Cybertruck Wait Prolongs
Fund manager Ross Gerber's recent comments about the need to overhaul Tesla's board prompted a caustic response from none other than the electric-vehicle giant's CEO Elon Musk. Barely days after the bitter exchange, Gerber received backlash from Tesla fans for flaunting the purchase of Rivian R1S on social media.
基金經理羅斯·格伯最近關於需要徹底改革特斯拉董事會的言論引起了這家電動汽車巨頭首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克的尖銳回應。在激烈的交流發生僅幾天後，格柏因在社交媒體上炫耀收購Rivian R1S而受到特斯拉粉絲的強烈反對。
What Happened: "Excited to say my wife's Rivian R1S is on the way. Just as I wanted it," said Gerber on X, formerly Twitter. "The nice people at Rivian helped get me squared away. This is a beautiful truck!" he said. Gerber said he bought a green-colored one.
發生了什麼：“很高興地說我妻子的 Rivian R1S 即將上線。就像我想要的那樣。” 格柏在X（前身爲推特）上說。“Rivian 的好人幫助我擺脫了困境。這是一輛漂亮的卡車！”他說。格柏說他買了一輛綠色的。
The R1S is the Irvine, California-based company's all-electric full-size off-road SUV. It comes in three variants:
R1S是這家總部位於加利福尼亞州爾灣的公司的全電動全尺寸越野SUV。它有三種變體：
- Dual-motor all-wheel drive
- Performance dual-motor AWD
- Quad-motor AWD
- 雙電機全輪驅動
- 高性能雙電機 AWD
- 四輪馬達 AWD
The R1S has a starting price of $74,900.
R1S的起價爲74,900美元。
In December, Gerber, the CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management, disclosed through an X post that he ordered an R1S as a Hanukkah present for his wife. He then wondered aloud whether the R1S order placed then or his Cybertruck ordered four years ago would arrive first.
12月，格柏川崎財富與投資管理公司首席執行官格柏通過X帖子透露，他訂購了R1S作爲光明節禮物送給妻子。然後他大聲地想知道當時下達的R1S訂單或四年前訂購的Cybertruck是否會先到貨。
Tesla, which began taking preorders for Cybertruck — an electric pickup truck, immediately after its unveiling in late 2019, began selling the EV to customers only late last year.
特斯拉在2019年底推出電動皮卡車Cybertruck後立即開始接受預購，直到去年年底才開始向客戶銷售電動汽車。
One of Gerber's followers took a swipe at him for switching allegiance to Rivian. "He is Cramer lite. Strong buy signal for TSLA stock." Responding to him, the fund manager said, "I'm getting a Cybertruck as well, so go reconcile that."
格柏的一位追隨者因爲轉而效忠裏維安而對他進行了輕描淡寫。“他是克萊默精簡版。TSLA 股票有強烈的買入信號。”基金經理在回應他時說：“我也要買一輛Cybertruck，所以去調和一下。”

Why It's Important: There has been a lot of bad blood between Musk and Gerber ever since the EV maker's fundamentals began to take a turn for the worse. Musk's absentee leadership at Tesla ever since he took over X has irked the fund manager.
爲何重要：自從這家電動汽車製造商的基本面開始惡化以來，馬斯克和格柏之間就流下了很多壞血。自從馬斯克接管X以來，他在特斯拉的領導層一直缺席，這讓這位基金經理感到憤怒。
At one point in early 2023, he said he would nominate himself as a candidate for board membership at Tesla, citing the challenges the company was facing then and the problems with its public relations, customer service, and succession planning. He later ended his bid for Tesla board membership.
在2023年初，他曾表示將提名自己爲特斯拉董事會成員候選人，理由是該公司當時面臨的挑戰以及公共關係、客戶服務和繼任計劃方面的問題。後來他結束了對特斯拉董事會成員資格的競選。
Recently, after Tesla reported a huge first-quarter delivery miss, Gerber blamed the predicament on Musk and rubbished the reasons the company gave for the shortfall. He also called for the overhauling of the board as he felt it was not independent and did not perform its fiduciary duties.
最近，在特斯拉報告了第一季度交付量嚴重失誤之後，格柏將困境歸咎於馬斯克，並對該公司給出的短缺原因不屑一顧。他還呼籲對董事會進行全面改革，因爲他認爲董事會不獨立，也沒有履行信託職責。
Reacting to his comments, Musk said the weakness was across the board, impacting all players in the industry including China's BYD. "He's such an idiot that he can't even tell he's an idiot," he said, referring to Gerber.
馬斯克在回應他的評論時表示，這種疲軟是全面的，影響了包括中國比亞迪在內的所有行業參與者。他在談到格柏時說：“他真是個白癡，甚至無法分辨出自己是個白癡。”
