DeLorean designer, known for making the first stainless steel vehicle, says the Cybertruck will 'surely be successful'

• Giorgetto Giugiaro said he wouldn't judge whether the Cybertruck was "beautiful or ugly."

• The DeLorean designer said the truck will succeed despite criticism of its looks.

• Tesla has set a delivery event for the Cybertruck for November 30.

Giorgetto Giugiaro, the designer of the DeLorean, weighed in on Tesla's highly anticipated Cybertruck.

"I don't want to judge the Cybertruck as beautiful or ugly," Giugiaro told NPR in an interview published Tuesday. "It certainly has its admirers who want a vehicle to stand out."

Since Elon Musk first announced that Tesla would make an electric pickup truck, the vehicle has faced a slew of criticism: From nitpicky fans pointing out gaps in the panels, smudges on the doors, and its humongous windshield wiper, to experts — and even Musk himself — warning that the Cybertruck may be difficult to mass produce.

Nonetheless, Giugiaro, known for designing luxury cars for Alfa Romeo, BMW, and Ferrari, told NPR he thinks the Cybertruck will find its market.

"When you step outside the norms, it's almost always seen as a provocation," Giugiaro told NPR over email. "It happens in all fields, from furniture to cooking, etc. Everyone wants to distinguish themselves; it's a market necessity, and the Cybertruck will surely be successful, I'm sure of it. I'm convinced it will find its admirers."
