You paid for the package that includes the hardware for Bluecruise, but didn’t pay the $600 for the 3 year subscription.

So you still paid something in my mind.
Yes, I paid for the hardware and I received the hardware. Doesn't really seem the same as shipping a vehicle without chips to me. What was missing from my car was the software, and Ford hasn't charged me for that (yet).

Say, I see you got a new car?

Yep, but the heated seats, rear A/C, smart cruise, rear defoggers, power seat memory, auto-dim high beams, and clock are coming later. In 3 or 4 or maybe 5 months I'll have to leave my car for 3 or 4 days with a dealer I hate, but at least it's a new car, huh? Oh, and they don't have to replace the roof and windshield on the newer ones, so that's good.

And the really good news is the ADM was only $5,000.00.

Ugh.

Lets go back to crank up windows, non-motorized seats, manual everything-possible.... lots less wire, hundreds fewer chips.

I DON'T WANT all the auto-everything, and the cost that comes with it. Yes, I want an electric motor drivetrain.... but I really DON'T WANT all the other stuff. I wish there was a base model that really was a stripped down, low weight, high performance vehicle.

I DON'T WANT auto lane centering, a zillion sensors, automatic emergency braking and steering....I'd much rather have manual everything, keep it simple, and have realistic expectation of non-'consumable' parts like freakin door handles lasting 20+years.
Sounds like this is designed with you in mind: :D

I thought that was only for the Explorer?
They will be shipping Explorers with face plates over the panel where the controls for rear heat and a/c would be and heated rear seats will not work until they ship the parts. Explorers are the only vehicles we were made aware of at the meeting on Friday.

Is this the start? Are we headed to 3rd rate industrialism because we allowed ourselves to let go of vital manufacturing?

C'mon Detroit.... Shake some loose change outta your pockets and build a plant or two here.
It take a lot of money and time to make a chip factory? You can't do it overnight and it ain't cheap. Intel is making a big investment to build a two new ones for up to $20 billion in Ohio and Samsung is building one in Texas for $17 Billion. Both of them will take several yrs to build so good for the long term but won't help the current shortage

It would be a huge mistake to apply this partially completed concept to a moneymaker vehicle! MME is Ford’s flagship EV. They should make the sacrifice with other vehicles in the line up. Not this one…

Wondering if Ford stopped taking orders for the MachE all together? I can build any other vehicle on ford.com

It's letting me place an order. But the Mach-E homepage looks different than it did yesterday:
