What if Ford and Tesla Merged?

Tesla has been great technically at innovation yet sometimes a little shaky on sales and production. Ford is going increasingly electric and trying to be more forward looking. It would seem like a reasonable opportunity for the two automakers to merge.

The advantage of using Ford showrooms to sell Tesla cars and Ford production experience to produce the all electric tech leading cars more efficiently is apparent enough on the surface at least. Ford could benefit from Tesla quality electric tech insight, and Elon Musk could work more on new innovations and his space x projects and leave much of the mechanics to Ford.

It might be useful for the advance of hypertubes if Tesla and Ford continued to work together to improve various design improvements, if anything were actually going to be built in the U.S.A. in the lifetime of the present generations, instead of being a concept set aside for a half century like the moon landings and Apollo program.
