Ford's 'Help A Stranded Tesla Driver' Remark At New F-150 Unveiling Triggers Elon Musk Fans: 'What A Joke'
Portfolio Pulse from Anan Ashraf
Ford's general manager, John Emmert, sparked controversy with a comment about the new F-150 truck's feature that could 'help a stranded Tesla driver on the side of the road.' This comment was met with backlash from Tesla enthusiasts. The F-150's Pro Power Onboard feature, standard on the F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid, transforms the truck into a mobile power source. The comment was seen as a slight to Tesla's range capabilities. Ford and Tesla have an agreement allowing Ford access to Tesla’s Supercharging network from 2024.
