I wonder how much of that marketing is contracted out to a 3rd party? Or . . . how much of a disconnect there is between marketing and production people?Agreed. And frankly, all of that is the type of work that could easily be done from home during COVID. If anything, that should have made customer communications even better as workers still getting paid to stay home couldn't do in-office stuff and would have more time for this type of thing. Or so I would think.
Ford seems to have made a good "teamwork" transition on the Mach E with Team Edison. I am thinking the Marketing people were left out of that equation or were not made integral.
Darren Palmer forwarded some emails and put me in touch with the person from "Global Marketing, Electrification" when I was trying to see if I could switch to a FE as I was hearing about orders being cancelled. She is the one that told me that no First Editions would be available unless you ordered one at the outset. Regardless, I kept emailing her, and after that first response telling me no, I never heard back again. Even after an email on the final "order date" for FE.
This is the response I got:
- Customers with reservations which convert to retail orders will take priority over non-reservation retail orders.
- First Edition is only available to those who reserved them and will be unavailable for order even if someone cancels
