    The Cybertruck’s stainless steel body has been difficult to work with, especially when it comes to the vehicle’s fit and finish, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.

    In October, Tesla set a delivery event for the first Cybertrucks for November 30 after two years of delays — and there’s signs the truck will have a smaller release than initially expected.

    Meanwhile, Musk has warned that it will be difficult to scale production due to the vehicle’s unusual design and said the company aims to produce about a quarter million Cybertrucks per year by 2025.

    “When you’ve got a product with a lot of new technology or any brand new vehicle program, especially one that is as different and advanced as the Cybertruck, you will have problems proportionate to how many new things you’re trying to solve at scale,” Musk said during Tesla’s earnings call last month.

    Yet despite the enthusiasm, some Tesla fans have already taken to criticizing the design, including the vehicle’s enormous windshield wiper and images of its finger-print smudged doors, as well as misaligned panels.

    Auto expert Sandy Munro previously told Insider it’s unfair to judge the vehicle based off of images of early Cybertruck prototypes.
