Let me disagree with some of the points: > Ford has all the infrastructure that Tesla is attempting to build now * no battery production facilities * no charging infrastructure * no vertical integration (unlike Tesla, Ford has to sell through the dealershits - I see it as a big disadvantage) > They know how to mass produce cars Yes - but can they produce the car the public will want in three years from now, when affordable all-electric, high-performance, autonomous Model 3s will redefine what modern car means? > They have a large manufacturing and maintenance base that, frankly, Tesla can't replicate I admit that they have some hurdles ahead, but what would stop Tesla from being more efficient at manufacturing than Ford? It is one of their objectives - and their track record is pretty good, to say the least.
