Why would they take it down? They can't really enforce an embargo on a customer owned vehicle.
His channel is all car reviews, which would make him part of the 'media.' If that loophole worked, we probably would have seen bigger channels put up reviews with customer cars by now.

Reviewers agree to the embargo in exchange for Ford providing the cars for them to review. That doesn't apply here.

Chad's 0-60 run. I used my highly non-scientific iPhone stop watch 10 times and got 4.0 seconds almost every time.

More of an opinion piece than a full review, but he said some cool things about the car. I’m waiting for the real press to get reviews out so I can see more information.

While that method might be true, ford would also stop providing review vehicles if someone did that loophole. Which is why you haven't seen anyone do that yet when there's been plenty of time.

It all depends, if you're a reviewer who relies on getting vehicles from the manufacturer then you would never do this, as you would just never get cars then since they never know if you'll be sneaky. "Breaking an embargo is typically considered a serious breach of trust and can result in the source barring the offending news outlet from receiving advance information for a long period of time." So he probably just buys all his cars or borrows from people.

At <1000 subscribers, he's also not big enough to be considered by Ford for press events anyway. So breaking an embargo that he didn't sign for most likely means nothing.
