I hope this is true and would love to be proved wrong, but I'm calling BS on it. When they announced the whole new campus in Dearborn back in 14', everyone thought it was awesome. I just left working at PDC in October and you wanna know what has been done there in 4 years? 2 new parking decks and the ponds were filled and turned into parking lots. People in the know there have basically confirmed that all other work has been put on hold and those pie in the sky renderings of a $5B dollar makeover ain't happening. Once Hackett took over and realized Ford was not even close to where its crosstown rivals were at with electrification and autonomy, that money is getting funneled into R&D and product development most likely.

I don't see how a company with a languishing product lineup and stock price can validity spending tens of billions of dollars on an entirely new Dearborn campus, new buildings in downtown Dearborn, a new product lineup as promised just last week, and now MCS.
