There have been a lot of Ford Explorers stolen in Detroit metro area lately, will they ever want to buy another Ford after their Explorer so easy to steal even though they were locked and in their driveways?
If only we could make door locks that work to keep intruders out of vehicles so we wouldn’t need a CEO of security cameras. If only we had engineers that could work on making that a reality. I’m sure customers would appreciate that feature and use it every time they use their vehicles.
Why do we need a CEO of security cameras??? Maybe if we had a CEO of door locks vehicles wouldn’t need security cameras? This is a big reason Ford’s salary staff is bloated to thousands more than our competitors.
@rwvq+1mFxeDI0 - wow you know a lot.... but I thought CM is a place-holder CEO while they find an experienced business CEO. Is that your understanding?
Canopy’s CEO, Christian Moran, needed seven years to complete his four year degree at UM Dearborn. I’ve known him since he joined Ford as a contractor. He grew up in Taylor Mi, and has zero business experience outside Ford. This partnership won’t last long. ADT is failing on their own, they don’t need Ford’s or Moran’s help.
I was wondering what has happen with this since January 2022, so I searched for canopy and this is what came up. Did Ford give up on another partnership already?

This canopy seems to be going nowhere. I just googled it, tents come up. I looked at their Twitter, they haven’t updated since the embarrassing CES show. Another huge waste of capital.
Maybe they can visit the science center and learn a few things......
We can’t seem to deliver working cameras in vehicles, so they have this problem:
Ford recalls SUVs, some for a 2nd time
Ford is recalling over 422,000 SUVs in the U.S. because the image from the rear camera may not be displayed.
The recall covers certain Ford Explorers and Lincoln Aviators from the 2020 through 2023 model years, as well as 2020 through 2022 Lincoln Corsairs. All have 360-degree cameras.
Some of the vehicles were recalled for the same problem earlier this year, but the remedy didn't work.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents that the lack of a rear camera image can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford says it's working with parts suppliers to identify the cause and develop a repair. Vehicles that were fixed under a January recall will have to be repaired again.
@1edt+1mFxeDI0 why not? It was announced a year and a half ago. There are at least a dozen competitors available today. Ford, late to the party again.
Canopy is not fully launched yet. Criticism at this point in time has no credibility. Subscription apps are the next big revenue maker for Ford. Need I mention Bluecruise's success?
@ jtx+1mFxeDI0 Miser’s been here three years and a day, contract expired and stock options vested, he’s out of here! If they replace the incompetent FLV with someone who barely graduated from college, he will be getting the same treatment when his contract expires in two or three years.
@irzl: The Godfather Part II, 1974 ! (I had to look it up.) The Stooges dialogue I posted was from 'Crash Goes the Hash' in 1944.
Hey, what's with the food around here? A kid comes up to me in a white jacket, gives me a Ritz cr--ker, and uh, chopped liver, he says, 'Canapes'. I said, uh, 'can of peas, my a**, that's a Ritz cr--ker and chopped liver!'
What movie is that from?
Hopefully they told the out of towners that because they worked in Detroit this week they are obligated to file and pay Detroit City income taxes 🤣
F Louis Victor is a fake and liability to Ford. Shareholders are aware and are demanding accountability. His contract should be up soon and he will be shown the door. Next is being dismantled, Moser resigned, good riddance, useless and another fake. Many of them are attempting to jump to GM. GM isn't interested. Moran is delusional, he acts like he will be FLVs replacement, not happening.
Right - who wants to be served a Canopy ? Meanwhile, at the posh Canopy Party:
FLINT: Now whenever you’re ready, serve the drinks and don’t forget the Canopys.
MOE: Canapés? Oh you mean the toast with the lace curtains!
FLINT: Such levity. You remind me of the three stooges.
CURLY: Hey! That’s an insult!!
FLINT: Well now, I was only joking. Carry on. [leaves the kitchen]
CURLY: Now what would he want with a can of peas?
MOE: Not can a peas, canapés.
LARRY: Not can a peas, can a peas!! One of us is crazy and it’s not you.
MOE: Right. Canapés. Hors d’oeuvres!
CURLY: Which one? Can a peas or dervs? Make up your mind.
MOE: You put ‘em on cr--kers. They give you an appetite like a horse.
CURLY: Oh, animal cr--kers!
MOE: Ye--- [eyepokes Curly]
Well, they have nothing better do do. There is no product, there are no customers, there is no revenue.
