Yes as a matter of fact they do put their cars and/or tires in a temp controlled space. No one is driving around in the snow belt on sport cup 2ās. You should read up on the specs for these tires.
If you say so.
it's not freaking hard. You ship the car with some All Seasons optionally with their cheap 19" rims from a GT (which Ford gets dirt cheap) and a coupon for dealer-installed Cup2 and the proper HP rims once they are drop shipped March'ish. It's just plain laziness on the part of Ford.
I misspoke. I should not have said temp controlled. With that being said, Ford goes by the recommendations of michelin. Michelin says cold temps can cause cracks in the tires. Neither party wants to eat the cost of damaged tires. This is not new to the Mach 1. Trust me Ford would love to sell as many cars as possible but they have obviously calculated that it is not worth the cost/liability to offer sport cup equipped cars year round. I know it sucks for guys trying to get their cars during the off months, especially those that live in an area that wonāt be affected by cold temps after delivery. But thatās the way it is unfortunately.
I donāt know of any manufacturer that does that. I think it just adds another logistical complication that isnāt worth it to them. Thinking a little more about the cup 2 tires i wouldnāt be surprised if it came down to legal decision based on liability. They might just not want to risk customers driving cars home from the dealer if it means a couple dumb ass drivers wrecking leaving the lots and trying to sue them.
boy are we lucky in NZ ! we got our 50 allocated about 2 months ago. loving it. great car. Tremac all the way. recarro seats. loaded . very lucky!
I order mine 7/13 and got a email for a built week of nov 15 but the next day got another email for a built week of 9/13. in dealer system says week of 9/13
Well ford announced this was an issue in 2020 before the car was ever on the production line. We did our research and knew what to expect, so I dont see the problem. I'm one of the people who had to buy new tires. I knew I would have to do this months before I ever put a deposit down on the car, because once again, ford announced this was already going to be an issue, before it was an issue to anyone. And for the cars being delayed, it's not like ford could control the computer chip shortage. No one can control everything that happens in life, so blaming Ford for something they CANNOT control is pointless.
I donāt really think there is anything to defend. Ford is in the business to sell cars. That being said, Iām not understanding the relationship between delays to that end being beneficial to them, anymore than a conspiracy against its own customers. Seriously. Itās a delay. Thatās all. Not much you can do but put your thumb in your mouth and wait.
Im sorry. I'm too sober to understand your post
I'm trying to understand what you're comparing, or maybe I'm reading something wrong? You said "I'm not understanding the relationship between...." and using the word between made me think you were going to compare 2 things? But you didnt? And maybe I'm just reading this wrong. I'm pretty illiterate, I won't deny this at all. I failed English all through out high school.Did they announce new 2022 gt500 colors?I wonder which of all those cool new 2022 GT500 colors are going to be available on the Mach-1 as well...
