I agree with your other points but as for #1, BMW’s system is probably the most sophisticated. It gives updates on every part of the manufacturing process like when it’s being painted, final assembly, etc, and they allow you to pick up from the factory for cars made in Germany (they may have ended this program with COVID). I’ve heard Tesla’s is decent at giving real time updates but their estimates are always way off. Anyway it can be done and I’ve named at least one. As for whether Ford needs to do the same, I guess not but it’d be nice to have for sure.1. name a global company that gives real time updates on its manufacturing processes on new products for the general public (does Apple do that for example?).
2. If Ford was truly deficient/negligent in new product launches as you insinuate, how have they led the industry in new truck sales for the last 4+ decades?
reality is *potential* customers are informed on a "need to know" basis, not WANT to know, in situations like this
