Ford and other carmakers including Tesla and GM are shipping some vehicles without all features during the chip shortage.
Ford is providing cars without chips for non-safety features like rear seat heating and cooling. Customers can expect a small discount for the inconvenience and dealerships will install the missing chips within a year from purchase (assuming chips are available).
This is a strategy to move some of the more than 70,000 Ford vehicles that were complete but in storage while waiting for chips.
