Trucks for "working people":

1. Absurdly high bed height that makes it hard to get anything heavy in or out
2. Really short beds in pretty much all trucks. 8 foot beds are becoming a special order option
3. Crew cab "for your crew."
4. The new Ford Ranger: basically a very tall heavy suv where your groceries get wet when it rains "starting at $28k"
5. Base model lowest trim F-150: "starting at $34k"

If he was talking about a Ford Transit then sure, those are for working people (still absurdly expensive). But Ford trucks are for suburban wine moms.

And I though Ford make $60k trucks for people who might need to move something once year.

A truck is a tractor with a trailer, those shits with beds the size of kids pool are laughable

Traditional automakers are coming to give Elon a wedgie. Their experience and cautious approach moves slowly and doesn’t break things.

All that said, the inside baseball on the F150 lightning is that ford didn’t expect to sell nearly as many as they are going to. They expected to dip a toe in the electric truck market but consumers (probably not the workers that Farley refers to) really want their product
