While Apple is not directly involved in the Ford-Tesla discussion, the comparison to Steve Ballmer's iPhone misjudgment serves as a reminder of how underestimating innovative products can lead to missed opportunities. This historical example may not have a direct impact on Apple's stock price, but it highlights the importance of staying ahead in the tech industry.

Ford CEO Jim Farley's comments suggest confidence in Ford's position as the market leader for EV trucks and vans. However, underestimating the potential impact of Tesla's Cybertruck could lead to complacency and a lack of innovation, which may negatively affect Ford's stock price in the long run.

The strong response from Tesla fans to Ford CEO's comments indicates a high level of anticipation and optimism surrounding the Cybertruck launch. This enthusiasm could translate into increased demand for the vehicle and a positive impact on Tesla's stock price in the short term.
