2021 F-150 Launches And It DIDN'T Take Long For Elon Musk To Start Talking Smack. Popcorn Time..

This evening Ford launched the new 2021 F-150 pickup truck. You know I've owned a number of them over the years and am a fan but ALSO an upcoming Tesla CyberTruck customer.

Here's my quick take on it...Exterior. 6.5, Interior 9.5, tech 9.5, drive assist 9.5, power on board 10, sleeper seats 10. I may still buy one but the regular GM trucks (Denali, not the silly Chevy one with the chrome bar) have a better face. Look 1. GM 2. RAM. 3. F-150. Truck i would buy, F-150. Maybe with different grills they didn't show and good wheels i will change my mind. But after seeing CyberTruck as weird as it is, the F-150 looks like something I'd recommend for my Grandfather.

So there's my .02 but I KNEW it wouldn't take long for the SMACK talk to begin and the first would come from Elon Musk. Here is his simple tweet.

Could be slightly faster

This may seem totally unrelated, but we need to start thinking about the bigger picture.

Destroying the planet could be one of the "great filter" scenarios that prevents evolution from getting past a certain point. Let's at least try to reduce the chances of something like that happening.

The Cybertruck will be for Palo Alto wannabes and the F150 will be for people who actually use trucks.

I think it will be a practical and cost-effective work truck. The only things holding it back from legacy truck drivers are looks and loyalty to other brands. On paper it should be a killer ROI for companies.
