Not sure why they went with that title since Kaufman doesn't talk about contactless test drives at all, but some interesting info from the article:
Not sure why they went with that title since Kaufman doesn't talk about contactless test drives at all, but some interesting info from the article:
- In “three to four weeks,” Ford will finalize the date in summer 2020 when reservations will be converted to orders.
- In early March, when the pandemic’s impact was on the rise, Ford experienced an increase in cancellations for the Mustang Mach-E for about two weeks. It was one tiny little blip, and after that, there was no significant change.
- About Mach-E test drives, Kaufman says
- Test drives at the local dealerships are going to be a big part of that continued awareness and word of mouth for the product. We know that people just need to sit in the vehicle and test drive it. I’ll be shocked if anyone is not grinning ear to ear after a test drive.
- We identified and reviewed the process of how to properly clean the vehicle with doctors and experts to make sure that we’re doing that properly.A lot of what we’re already doing internally for how to properly wipe down the vehicle will be used to make sure there are no concerns at all for test drives. And we’re going to do that in a way that is very safe for customers and our dealership employees.
- Dealers are also preparing to make contactless deliveries of the Mach-E for those who elect to skip a test drive and take ownership immediately.
- All 2,100 Ford dealerships will receive at least one long-term dedicated test-drive vehicle. These test models will arrive roughly at the same time that the first Mach-E models are delivered to customers in late 2020. And nearly at the same time, service and collision parts will be stocked for dealers.
- Ford believes that it will have an EV expert at all of its dealerships.
