Will the global ship shortage ever end? engineering
. However, the company seems to have found a solution around this, and according to recent reports, the cars will be missing a few non-critical non-safety features. Ford's new strategy will result in its vehicles being sold without a few features. These include the controls of heating and cooling for the rear seats, although these features will be controlled from the front seats.
Customers willing to still purchase Ford Explorer without these features can expect a reduction in the final price for this small inconvenience. Last year, Ford had shipped its popular F150 without the automatic start-stop feature and given a $50 credit to customers who opted to purchase the car without this feature.
Ford isn't the only carmaker working around chip shortages in such a fashion. While electric vehicle maker Tesla shipped cars without some USBs, General Motors dropped features like wireless charging and HD radios.
