Thread regarding Ford layoffs

Model e subscription revenue projections

Since the EV production has been reduced, has the Model e sales team adjusted their revenue projections? When will subscription sales revenue be a line item on the P&L? I thought Farley said that would be happening two years ago, but don’t see it.

Are they allegedly selling any subscriptions other than Blue Cruise? I can’t think of any, neither could the salesman at the Ford dealership (where I left without even considering purchasing a Ford vehicle because they were unattractive and overpriced).

Inform yourself: An Edmund’s article in today’s Detroit Free Press compares BlueCruise to GM’s Super Cruise, BMW’s Driving Assistant Plus and Tesla’s AutoPilot. BlueCruise came in LAST. And you call this “our most successful subscription offering.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@3lwa+1qaOydHv Except Ford has OVERSTATED the potential of any and every subscription service that might be attached to a vehicle sale. Model e has NOTHING without EV sales, and those aren’t happening to plan.

I would argue that it is difficult to project the success level of a movement that is destined to be highly successful once released. Like our gen2 Model e products and services. I can see holding back some so as not to under sell the profit potential.

Who is d-mb enough to buy a Ford EV? These vehicles comes with many problems that no one wants to buy them anymore.

Might be the best preforming subscription...but does that really matter when the bar is so low? Maybe the tu-d is shaped better than the rest. But it still a tu-d when it comes to revenue that doesn't make up for anything. So it might be the highest subscription...but what's your point?

Get some common sense.

@uya OP, my wife’s car was totaled, had to see what was on the lots. Asked questions while there. Not great options.

Really? You took time out of your day to visit a dealership to discover the price and styling weren't to your liking? I call BS.

@ygp+1qaOydHv, What a a-s-li---r. You should talk like this in front of Jim Fartley instead of talking here, in front of other Ford employees who know the truth. Fartley may give you a raise.

OP is wrong. Must not even be a Ford employee. While BlueCruise is our most successful subscription offering, Ford also is having success with the Ford Pro Fleet Management Suite.

Get informed.
