the one thing that I know for a fact is that the dealers are as blind as we are. They are NOT holding info back. They simply do not have it. I too have learned EVERYTHING about the car from this forum. I then pass it on to my buddies at the dealership. They are glad to have it. It helps them either verify it for accuracy or put it in terms that I can understand.My one issue with your post is this part.
How many had a special webcast for the launch of the vehicle?
How many had special webcast on different aspects of the vehicle?
How many are launching tours across America to see the vehicle?
Going from ice to a BEV, total new vehicle.
I only knew about 3 of the 4 of these because of this forum. I have a reservation that's been converted into an order and Ford can't even create an email list to inform it's buyers of these unique ways to tell us about the car? I just didn't like that if I'm not on here, I would know very little about where my $500 deposit has gone.
Also the technology on that Mach E tour website leaves a lot to be desired. You can't search by zip code on the map and you're forced the manually try to scroll across the highway map of the country and try to find where your are. I have a hard time believing someone saw that website and said yep this is ready for consumers.
Don't take this as a knock against you or anything, because I'm beyond grateful for the information you've been able to provide. You deserve a raise and/or promotion in my book. I've never ordered a car pre-production but I get more notifications from projects on Kickstarter than I have from Ford.
I appreciate all that you and other insiders have brought to the board, thank you.
one thing everyone has to understand is that this new way of ordering is not only new to the public but to the dealerships as well. They are trying to figure this new way of selling cars as we are of getting one. It is this new network which will likely play into the Bronco ordering system. By then dealerships will have a better handle on how this system works.
