Apple just doesn't seem like they'd make an f150 competitor. Which like what half of USA Fords sales?

  An electric truck would be an interesting proposition - good torque for towing, and a large footprint gives plenty of battery space, but currently I'd imagine the high cost of entry and the range problem stop it from being viable. The new smaller engined forced induction Ford trucks seem to be getting good reviews, so perhaps the segment is more open to innovation than I would've guessed

      It wouldn't be that bad. The ad opens with a crane shot of an electric locomotive going through west Texas (or east california); cut to an electric awd truck winning tug of war against like two of it's competitors then James Earl Jones is like "The new Texas born Tesla Grand Coulee: It'll move a Fucking Mountain"

    Personally I'm hoping that electric trucks will eventually allow late 80s early 90s sized compact pickups (like less than 190 inches in length) to find a market again. Though I'm not holding my breath for it.

  Something like that. F-150 is in fact, the best selling vehicle in the US, and has been for 35+ consecutive years :) I believe this is true even if you cut out commercial fleet sales. So, basically, apple may be able to make a profit doing a non-truck for sure, but counting out ford's ability to react would be .... dangerous.
