- Ford’s CEO said Tesla’s Cybertruck is for “Silicon Valley people” not “real people who do real work.”
- Jim Farley said Tesla’s pickup truck won’t compete with the F-150 Lightning.
- Tesla is expected to release the EV pickup later this year, but it’s been delayed several times.
I think the point still stands: people who buy trucks want to believe they can do real work, kind of like the fantasy of an SUV as a rugged vehicle even though their buyers typically treat them like street cars.
Or people who buy “sports” cars and then end up sitting in traffic 90% of the time. I’ve never understood most car buyers.
