I just stumbled across this on Twitter. Pretty shocking the lack of knowledge some of the dealers have about this car and EVs in general.

Ford Dealership: You Can't Charge The Mustang Mach E at Home

It's as if Ford unveiled the Mustang Mach E without giving their network of dealerships a heads up. No, Ford, a Tesla does not start at $100k.

I'm not familiar with EVBite. It could be another Tesla fan site trolling every other electric vehicle out there. But maybe it's also indicative of Ford's lack of training for dealers. While this site does critique the dealers a lot, I think Ford still has 12 months to get their act together.

Watch the video below. How was your dealership experience?

Dealerships need to sell what they have now, not in a year or year and a half from now. Many sales people will have moved on by then.
I am always hesitant in any attempt to outthink a car company in business for 100 years or so

While the guy making the video states on his blog that he strives to be as unbiased as possible, after listening to his video, I get the sense that he's an ardent Tesla fan.

Anyway, there was one salesperson that did a great job and was much more knowledgeable than I'd have expected for a cold call conversation about a vehicle that's not even into production, yet. Kudos to him. I wish the blogger would have included his name and the dealership (somewhere in Florida), to give him props.

Great point. And yea... they'll train up a few specialists who will be decent. I mean, seriously, I bet 90% of the Ford staff don't even know jack about the F-150. lol
