If the stockholders actually knew how poorly run production really is, they wouldn’t be so happy. Share price protection is also why Ford won’t provide any detailed information. They don’t want shareholders to catch wind of what’s really going on. Companies like Ford have large blocks of...
I think some of you are giving Ford too much credit. This was moronic and half-assed email sent because someone in the executive office told Mike Levine they were tired of getting phone calls from angry order holders.
Given that this is flat out incorrect for many (already built but stuck “in production”), who in the Ford comms department approved this- despite it being demonstrably wrong? This is negligent management at its finest.
If the modems are live, the dealer can see basic info like vehicle moves, door opens, etc. All dealers have this access. They do not get details around the nature of the delay though. Yes- some dealers are better than others but I’m also pushing mine fairly hard. Polite and professional- but...
Keep up the contact and questions to the chat line, marketing number and your dealers. The only way this starts moving is we make the status quo at Ford impossibly painful.

It’s a brush off email but I do think they had to send something because of the pressure we’re putting on them to get us answers. I think we should keep that up.
Blend date 5/8. Got the version of the email that states my production date and then acts like they haven’t even built it. Been stuck in production since my blend date. Chat and dealer say it’s already built but no one knows why it still sits.
I think we only got this email because we are...
I just got a case number from online chat. When I asked how I could follow-up on the status of that case number- the agent told me there wasn't a way to do that. Ha! So they can just make up numbers and it goes nowhere- like every other interaction with Ford. What a brand experience for customers.
