There is a bloody struggle in the automotive industry, particularly in the electric vehicle sector. An area where frankly Elon Musk Y Tesla Motors They have a good deal of “blame” for everything that happens lately. So it was only a matter of time before Ford joined the equation.
We have seen how Musk has been literally years behind schedule with the launch of its auto company’s first electric pickup truck.
However, even with all those problems, the cyber truck seems destined to shake the market opening a new era in the history of market competition for this branch.
So the most natural thing would be for there to be a clash, tense rivalry and competition between both companies in order to enter with their respective vehicles. But it seems that everything just scaled out of all expected proportion.
Elon Musk and Ford in lawsuit
It all started, according to reports CarBuzzwith the current CEO of Ford, Jim Farley, who in his most recent conference ended up talking about the new Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck.
Until everything was normal and the comparisons with the Tesla Cybertruck were as obvious as they were inevitable. But perhaps what no one saw coming is that he closed his intervention with a passive-aggressive comment challenging the man behind SpaceX: “Take that Elon Musk”:
The message itself can be interpreted as a joke, in a context where Ford has beaten Tesla in the race to launch the first electric truck on the market. Since the F-150 Lightning It has already been commercially launched and is available to buy right now, while the Cybertruck would, in the best case, be released sometime in the next year 2023.
As we can see, the message reached the account of devoted fans of Musk’s automaker on Twitter, Tesla 24/7, and there it caused great noise and criticism for the tone of the comment, to the point of causing almost 15 thousand reactions.
So it was only a matter of Elon Musk posting his response through his official Twitter account with a direct reaction against Jim Farley. The message was brief but confusing: Thanks, but I already have one.
It’s not clear to us whether Musk is saying he already has an electric pickup truck, his Cybertruck, or whether he’s revealed he’s already bought a Ford F-150 Lightning.
In either scenario Tesla Motors is behind in the race.
