So the truck made of cold-rolled steel with 240V inverter is not made for "people who do real work"?

No, but the F-150 is actually possible to build. Elon promised the world with the cybertruck, and it probably will never see the light of day. Certainly not in its prototype form and/or at the $40,000 sticker price.
