Recently, Ford sent an email to soon-to-be Mach-E owners regarding the delayed delivery. The main content is as follows:
- Orders placed or scheduled for production between July 5 and October 1 will be delayed by 6 weeks.
- Ford will offer affected owners 250 kWh of electricity as compensation. (About 1,500 km of driving distance, costing about 300 yuan for charging.)
Mach-E has gained some popularity in the US market. Although Mach-E sales in the US last month were 2,465 vehicles, accounting for only 2.2\% of Ford’s total sales that month; the chip shortage in the global market is the culprit for insufficient production, as Mach-E new cars were sold out as soon as they stepped into the dealer.
Currently, the global automotive market is suffering from the impact of chip shortages. Compared with some brands adjusting prices or configurations, Ford’s compensation for delayed delivery is obviously very sincere. It is worth noting that Changan Ford’s Mustang Mach-E is not affected for the time being.
