This is US sales, have they started shipment to Europe?

there's a $107/month 3-year lease offer on them through Costco, I've been told. that's crazy.You can buy a brand new Bolt at basically 50% off right now
They have already discontinued it I believe. These numbers are just sales of what was left on dealer lots.768 Continentals is just sad. I've said for years if Ford would make it an EV, put the suicide doors on it and price it about $175K, they would have a new legend on their hands.
Correct, they stopped production in OctoberThey have already discontinued it I believe. These numbers are just sales of what was left on dealer lots.
yup just another dead sedanThey have already discontinued it I believe. These numbers are just sales of what was left on dealer lots.
Isnāt the rule of thumb for any two year old car 20% per year.yup just another dead sedan
with a hell of depreciation
More likely that February's numbers are inflated by all of the "stop-ship" January cars that were delayed into February. That said, in order to meet the annual goal of 50,000, they need a 4100/month run rate. There will be month-to-month fluctuations.I wonder if the chip shortage is the reason for the drop in sales for March? It makes me nervous that cars scheduled for the next few months will be delayed.
it depends on who you askIsnāt the rule of thumb for any two year old car 20% per year.
MSRP x 80% = 56k 56k x 80% = 45k
64% of 63k would be 40k.
A buddy of mine who could walk into a Lincoln dealer whenever he feels like it and just buy what he wants - cash - and is a Ford fan, flat out refused to buy one, despite loving the vehicle. His reason? āJimmy, itās an unforgivable crime that they put a drivetrain from a soviet agricultural implement in that car when they have so many good engines and transmissions! Look at what Mercedes puts in the S class and BMW puts in the 7 series!ā I think he would have like to have seen the engine from the Mustang Mach 1 mated to the 10 speed automatic or something.768 Continentals is just sad.

Didnāt Ford say they were going to make money from the start on the Mustang Mach E?I remember Ford promising to make 50,000 MMEs this year. I assume that was for global distribution? If Ford sells maybe 35,000 in the US, that doesnāt seem like a lot. I wonder where the breakeven is on the investment, if itās even possible to calculate such a thing.
Thatās impossible if you factor in the R&D cost. Ford made a massive investment in electrification. Now granted, you can only attribute a portion of that to the MME, but I think Ford must be years away from turning a profit on that investment.Didnāt Ford say they were going to make money from the start on the Mustang Mach E?
