  "account": "Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed that the Cybercab's electric motor is the first to use no rare earth metals while still maintaining the same range. Musk described the design as \"extremely hard to achieve\". However, investor Gary Black criticized the Cybercab launch, calling it \"largely a bust\" due to a lack of details and unanswered questions about the vehicle's production and deployment. Black also pointed out regulatory uncertainty around the Cybercab's unique control system, which lacks a steering wheel and pedals.",
