I've seen more than three Ford executives getting their vehicles. I don't think theirs are in this count since they are company cars. Some were delivered before OKTB.We saw Darren Palmer got his, and that one California Route 1 in Dallas... who got the 3rd?
Company cars are included in the sales reporting per Ford. Execs that don't "lease" their car but simply drive a pool car for a week or two to check it out aren't counted as a sale, but a manger taking home their yearly lease car is.
Interesting. I don't know what to make of the 3 then. We heard about at least two deliveries in Dallas, plus there's Palmer, Frischmuth, Buzz, and Cannis who've shared pictures of theirs (mostly Grabber Blues). I assume there are even more whose photos I just haven't found yet (or they aren't sharing).
It's possible it's a "pool car" they've taken home and Tweeted about, rather than actually taken delivery of. Darren's post that got shared on here sounded like it was truly "his" car, so I figured he was one of the 3. I doubt Ford is delaying management lease sales reporting, FCA got in legal trouble a few years back for "discrepancies" in sales reporting and I'm sure Ford paid close attention.
Or maybe only production cars are counted. All of the execs I mentioned got cars built prior to oktb.
Yeah I think this only counts as production units sold.
Correct, only customer saleable cars can be counted. If the car is technically a prototype and will be scrapped at the end of its life, it won't get recorded. The Mach-Es that go for crash testing or durability testing won't be counted as a sale. That's why I think some of the execs must be posting about long-term loans of prototypes rather than "their" cars they get through the traditional management lease channel.
