Recently, Ford Motor Co and Tesla announced a landmark agreement, setting a new precedent for collaboration over competition in the electric vehicle space. Yes, you heard that right. Ford, one of the world's oldest automakers, and Tesla, the pioneering leader in electric vehicle technology, have joined forces.
