Ford CEO wants EV sales to be ‘100%’ online
Ford head Jim Farley said the brand’s electric vehicles may shift to fixed prices and completely online sales. In atoday at an IBM conference, Farley described a future where Ford dealerships would no longer stock inventory but serve as customer service centers for picking up online orders or repairing existing vehicles — with buyers also having the option for home delivery. In this hypothetical scheme, eliminating car dealerships would put an end to haggling with salespeople.
“We got to go to non-negotiated price," said Farley. Naturally, he also used his speech to throw some jabs at competitors."I believe some Mach-E and Lightning customers would love to have a Mustang for the weekend. Maybe they want a Super Duty. I can do that," Farley said,"They can't."
