I was at Detroit last weekend. I went the visit the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn. My first time.

First thing I noticed. Holy cow the Ford complex is BIIIIIIIIIIIIIG!!

Ford buildings as far as the eyes can see. They even have their own hotel Innside the complex.

I keep thinking, this company has a ton of resources and if they wanna to do something, not much can stop them. But why is no one buying Ford, other than their pickups. I spend a lot of time thinking that.I still don't quite have an answer.

Why doesn't Ford make something cool and hip? Why can't Ford, with all those resources, make cars people actually want?

And then why is Tesla, with only the foot print of an old factory factory in Fremont, smaller than the Ford testing and research building, worth more than Ford?

Ford cranks out more than 2000 pickups a day at that plant alone, one every 50 seconds or so to be exact. And each and every one of those are profitable. Unlike Tesla.

Something is wrong, on both side of the equation.
