The online purchasing process is not live yet.
Didn’t know that! Bummer, thought it was. Any idea when?
Ford hasn't given an update other than that it has been delayed and is not currently available. Until we hear otherwise, the purchase transaction is going to have to happen through the dealer.
I'm hearing the eCommerce target now is late Q1 2021 or early Q2 2021. We'll see how things go.
See, everyone is sad about shipment/delivery delays but here's a positive side to them! ?
I wonder if that will eliminate the whole process of having to teach dealers about Options. In theory, we should be able to select our financing and do it all ourselves through the eCommerce sight eventually, right?
There's always a bright side. But I'd much rather have my car. ?
I know of the testing going on but I don't know what financing scenarios will be available at launch. The eCommerce process still runs the transaction through the dealers.
You know, that’s what I’m concerned about, I’m optimistic that won’t be the case but seeing some of the other forum experiences thus far, that might not be the case. I think what I might end up doing is just have the dealer send me all the numbers upfront so as to minimize the hassle on site. If anything, for me the most annoying part of car buying is waiting for the salesperson to make multiple trips between the financing office and the sales office, all that back and forth. I’d want to just inspect, sign, drive.
That they will do - as you suggest , just get everything done by email and phone. Most dealers are doing that today as far as I know.
Thought so, there has to be something for the dealers in the process as outside of Tesla every other car company is tied to the dealer.
Goodness I hope so. I've had to hold my dealers' hand through this entire process - from "what is options" to "oh you mean a lease" to "oh that's not available in Michigan" etc. etc.
