Ford CEO Takes Swipe at Tesla Cybertruck, Defends F-150 Lightning as Real Work Truck.

Ford CEO Jim Farley dismissed the upcoming Tesla Cybertruck as not being a real truck during a recent interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer, stating that he makes trucks for real people who do real work. However, Ford was the first automotive company to strike a deal with Tesla to use its expansive Supercharger network, with Ford customers gaining access to the most reliable EV charging stations in North America starting next year. The F-150 Lightning all-electric pickup truck has sold over 20,000 units since the start of production in April 2022, while the Tesla Cybertruck is still in development but reportedly pre-ordered by over 1.5 million people.
