Anyone else see that Ford has opened a new company?

Ford Model E

This is going to allow them to offer their electric vehicles directly to the customer. Like Tesla is doing. No more dealership markup above MSRP.

Indeed. Ford and GM both have showed the displeasure of dealership markups. They're finding a way to do away with them. This will also allow them to improve profit margins. Win/win for them and the consumer.

This whole lock down and all taught us it is OK to order shit online, not to mention the success of Tesla doing just that.

Saw this yesterday while fishing at the bulkhead in Mays Landing yesterday. Wood spokes looked awesome.

The problem is who is going to work on them?

I do not understand your question?

Is Ford or GM going to open up their own factory dealerships? If they direct sale and push dealerships out of business, who will work on the cars they direct sale? Most dealers won’t want to be delivery points for factory direct sales.

I am 100% certain they will have a way to service and repair the vehicles they sell.

Dealers have done this to themselves. I could give a shit about them crooks. The techs will just change shirts.
