Tesla's market cap is 47 billion. Ford's is 45 billion.
Yet Ford made $4.8 billion last year and Tesla lost $773 million.
Everyone seems excited because Tesla delivered more than 25,000 vehicles this quarter. So what? Ford sold more than 17 million vehicles in the US alone last year. Ford sold more than 237,000 vehicles last month - month not quarter- so they sell even right now are still selling about 28 times as many vehicles as Tesla and in a profitable manner.
The people that suck up to the tech sector blow me away. Look how this article is written.
