Not me learning more from your 15 min video than I do in a two hour lecture. Your videos have saved me this semester.

Great video. It would be great if you would do a video on Ford Motor Co., when Henry was in charge. Vertical integration defined!

sorry, I've not got the point which is more effective vertical integration or outsourcing !!

Tesla are doing vertical integration because they can. Most other companies cannot. That’s the reason Tesla are doing Dojo and VW and Toyota are not. Once you understand why Tesla can, you will understand why Tesla is valued so highly.
