Jim Farley described Tesla's futuristic pickup truck as "a cool high-end product parked in front of a hotel."
  • 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.

    It’s been my experience that F-150 owners are arrogant, southern-fried buttholes, but anyone who owns a Cybertruck is probably worse, just by merit of being associated with Elon Musk.

      Lots of people drive Tesla, I’m not gonna judge them for Musk.

      But if this turns into another oversized seppo tank on our roads I’ll blame them for buying it.

        I am going to judge a lot of them for driving like assholes. There’s a reason people call them Tasshole.

        At least where I live Tesla is a good option for overpaid office guys, the guys that used to drive a BMW or Audi. Lots of Tesla drivers that are impatient, aggressive and just annoying on the road.

          There are a lot of bad drivers out there. We all see them every day and it doesn’t matter what make or model vehicle they’re driving.

          I can also say that your interpretation of who is driving these vehicles is a wild generalization. Claiming that Teslas are being driven by ‘overpaid office guys’ is a stretch, and I don’t think you understand how much a Tesla costs relative to any other vehicle of the same year out there.

        I drive a Tesla and Elon can suck Dick, but the actual people that make the car have done a good job for what I’ve gotten.

        Don’t know much about the truck though really

          It is a reality that Teslas were the best affordable EV you could get for a long time.

          Now that the IONIQ is below it in price, maybe we can be a bit judgier for new vehicle purchases… but even still, that is remarkably few affordable EVs available to the typical consumer and there still are some reasonable reasons to pick a Tesla. Unfortunately, that is mostly their charger network, which is the lightning cable of chargers trying to pretend that a totally superior ISO charger isn’t better for consumers in every way.

        I drive a Tesla. my excuse is, I bought before he went full fascist. I don’t think I’ll buy another one.

          I don’t think anyone driving a Tesla owes anyone an excuse. I’ve been driving one for a few years and one of the first things I did after purchasing one was block Elon on Twitter.

          You don’t have to respect a business or the people that run it to buy and enjoy what they’re selling.

            I owe one to myself every time this asshole posts some far right bullshit on Twitter. Really makes just want to torch the car, sometimes. Won’t do that cause it’s a fine car and utterly innocent, of course.
