Ford CEO Jim Farley commented in a recent CNBC interview that the Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup will not enter the market to compete with Ford pickups. According to him, The Tesla car was made for “drivers in South Valleyillegal“being a completely different audience than those who need a pickup truck for work.

Despite strong words Jim Farley did not make derogatory comments about the Tesla car., he only reinforced that he does not believe in direct competition, since the audience for the products of both companies is very different. In addition, during the interview, he also noted the partnership of both companies, where Ford adopted the NACS charging standard. Farley says the adoption of the new charging standard is a big win for Ford customers.

Cybertruck from Tesla should not compete with the Ford pickup

As for the Cybertruck, the CEO ruled out the possibility that the vehicle could compete with the F-150 Lightning pickup truck. For him, the Tesla car is a product aimed at a different audience. Farley believes the Cybertruck is not machine forreal people doing real work“but rather a means for”Silicon Valley drivers“. Farley also emphasized that Ford has been a leader in the pickup truck market for many years and therefore knows its customers well.

The CEO notes that while both cars are pickup trucks, the audience is different: “And if he wants to design a Cybertruck for the people of Silicon Valley, that’s fine… It’s like a cool, high-end product parked in front of a hotel.“. In an interview with CNBC, he also noted that projects such as Cybertruck are not in the company’s scope. Anyone who takes a look at the F-150 Lightning can understand that car offer and Cybertruck are very different. So it’s a little hard to disagree with Farley’s opinion, since it’s very easy to understand his position and the prediction that the Tesla Cybertruck will serve a very different audience that has nothing to do with drivers who are used to pickup trucks who need them to work.
