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.

So the truck made of cold-rolled steel with 240V inverter is not made for "people who do real work"?

@RosalynKirk Cold rolled steel didn't help the Night's Watch too much.

I've no idea what that means

It's an old Game of Thrones reference. Just being cheeky.

No, but the F-150 is actually possible to build. Elon promised the world with the cybertruck, and it probably will never see the light of day. Certainly not in its prototype form and/or at the $40,000 sticker price.

Gatekeeping dumbass. All he had to say is "Ford has made trucks its entire existence. We'll check in with Tesla in a hundred years." or some other macho check the scoreboard type statement. Instead he tried to pander to his percieved audience with a us vs them trope.

Most people who buy pickups don't need them. Pickup trucks have historically succeeded because of the light truck loophole in US fuel efficiency regulations.

Why doesn’t he just say they actually make real trucks?

Because unlike recent examples, the CEO of Ford has experience in wording his statements to maximize investor value.
