> I'm not sure where you are getting those numbers from. Ford had $37b in revenue Q4. Tesla had $16b.

Tesla makes a 27.4% gross margin on that revenue though, while Ford has a gross margin of 4.8%.

> Tesla is an impressive company that's managed to finally be profitable.

Although technically true, this is a little misleading as it implies that Tesla is barely profitable - in reality they have moved from 'finally becoming profitable' to now being the most profitable automaker (in terms of total profit).
