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.

What cybertruck? It doesn’t exist as far as I know

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.
