Opening factories in Austin and Berlin and Record high stock prices sounds like a company disappearing....

One is increasing its market share and one is decreasing its market share. Which case would you invest in?

Comparing apples and oranges. Of course ICE vehicles have higher sales at this point in time. The real comparison is ICE vs ICE and EV vs EV.

A patchwork of hundreds of dealers that potentially have shortsighted profits in mind are the issue vs. Ford or Tesla corporate that have long-term earnings in mind when making decisions. Ford has lost a long-term customer due to a single dealer‘s actions and this is likely repeated many times...

No, I‘m fine with them keeping the scraps and me changing from Ford to Tesla. I was apprehensive at first but after more than two months of ownership I’m glad I switched. Ford needs to step up and take control of the situation and not just document the unethical issues. I cancelled due to...

Record sales that dwarf Mach-e. Use data not unsubstantiated speculation.

I didn’t sign a purchase agreement. I converted the Ford reservation to the dealer order and they didn’t have any “rules” created. You are speculating on agreements that didn’t exist. A few days after converting the order and me subsequently cancelling the dealer said he still had to buy the...

The point is you still are at the mercy of a dealer, which many of us have had very negative experiences dealing with. When the dealer kept my $500 Mach-e deposit Ford said that wasn’t ethical but they couldn’t do anything about it because the dealer is who I was buying from and they would...

Folks are acting like they aren’t buying from a dealer because they did the legwork on a website. That’s the point - you are buying from a dealer but you are just doing more of the work in this process.

After a Ford dealer (Reynolds Ford, Norman, OK) kept my $500 Mach-e deposit I bought a Model Y and it’s so much better than I thought after all the Internet gossip. It’s been flawless and a head turner. If you don’t like attention, don’t get a Model Y. I have people taking pictures and...

After a disagreement with a Ford dealer and him keeping my $500 Mach-e deposit I bought a Tesla Model Y with FSD and it’s awesome. The car changes lanes on its own, passes slow cars, and never makes a mistake. Well worth the $8k and I don’t think I can go back to a standard car. Makes my...

So your car is being delivered to your house and you don’t need to interface with the dealers? Of course not, you did all the leg work in the web browser but they are taking a piece of the cut and you have to deal with them. Ford corporate is the wholesale supplier and the dealers are the...

I don’t understand why people act like the Ford dealers are a separate company. Ford dealers are Ford and until Ford breaks from them they are one in the same. The dealers are your interface for buying a Mach-e. If you don’t want that to be the case then buy a Tesla - they don’t have dealers.

How many Tesla’s have you owned?
