I just don't see how a car would be so much more expensive. I don't see how the raw cost of metal is so expensive. Stainless steel is 30 cent per pound and automotive steel much cheaper.

It's expensive compared to it's peer in terms of what you're getting for your dollar. Most Fords / GM's have crappy interior materials while other manufactures give you more luxury like leather and comfort features for the same price point. This is due to what it cost to manufacture in the US and of course unions. So you end up paying more but getting less and now tack on the tariffs and you're now paying a bit more for something that was overpriced in the first place.
