EV Bite - Calling Ford Dealerships and Asking About the Mustang Mach E

Aaaaaaaaah! Whenever I go to a dealership, I expect that I will know more about the EV that I am looking at, than the salesperson. In the video below, the team over at EV Bite call 15 Ford dealers within 200 miles of their location, and inquire about the upcoming Ford Mustang Mach-E. The results are as sad and depressing as you might expect. There are some genuinely funny moments. There is also a salesman that is trying desperately to talk them out of an EV, and into a hybrid. Sadly, I can totally relate, having had a VERY similar conversation when I was looking for my first Chevrolet Volt. Of the 15 dealers they contacted, 1 was knowledgeable about the Mach-E, 3 weeks after it was announced. There is a happy ending of sorts though, as at the very end, they find a very knowledgeable salesperson, who happens to work for Tesla.

“With the Ford Mustang Mach E around the corner and praise being sent towards Ford for their "commitment" to electric vehicles, we thought it would be best to get some first hand experience with their front line. We called all 15 Ford dealerships within a 200 mile radius inquiring about Ford's new electric car and learned just about nothing.”
