Saving Ford with data and subscription sales

Farley committed to breaking out the financial numbers this year for Model e and data and subscription sales. I have seen NOTHING from our incubator, Ford Next, that implies their revenue/profit could possibly ever exceed that of the F150. Does anyone think Ford Next is the company savior? I’m looking forward to the broken out financials for each area.

Subscriptions!! 🤣🤣🤣

When I buy a new car I refuse to authorize the modem. I am even considering snipping the modem wires.

I need my vehicle to get me from point A to point B, reliably and safely. That means NOT a Ford.

Right, so they want you to buy an EV and subscribe to all the things that should be standard. I will never, ever buy another Ford. Too expensive, not worth it, not dependable.

General Motors is already making money from Bright Drop and Cruise. Ford is way behind the competition, so we hire a guy from Renault. Name one successful subscription service offered by Renault….

I cannot wait to see the Ford Pro, data and subscription revenue numbers.

They are not capable of breaking this data out, particularly when it doesn't exist. I have never seen a business case in subscription models and have never found someone who could even advise on how to complete one. Subscription models being profitable are a fairy tale.

lol, wake up , Ford is incapable of producing ANY subscription models, and lets not forget Ford Drive - what a fail of Franck Louis Victor, thinking he can create revenue leasing Mach E's to Uber/ Lyft drivers - laughable.

2 words for you OP: Ford Pro

I recommend you watch the archive video from today's Ford Blue meeting. Very exciting presentation on how subscriptions will become the most significant revenue stream for the company. I also urge you to watch all the Doug Field video clips you can at the atFord homepage.

There is no subscription service Ford has to offer that I can’t get better and/or cheaper elsewhere.
