Ford will soon start selling and shipping some Ford Explorers without the chips that power rear air conditioning and heating controls, according to a report from Automotive News<\/em><\/a>. The automaker will instead ship the missing semiconductors to dealers within one year, which they will then install in customers\u2019 vehicles after purchase.<\/p>\n
\nCustomers who purchase a vehicle without the rear controls will receive a price reduction<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nFord spokesperson Said Deep told The Verge<\/em> that heating and air condition will still be controllable from the front seats, and that customers who choose to purchase a vehicle without the rear controls will receive a price reduction. According to Deep, Ford is doing this as a way to bring new Explorers to customers faster, and that the change is only temporary.<\/p>\nThe automaker originally had plans<\/a> to ship partially-built, undrivable vehicles to dealers last year, but now, the unchipped vehicles will be both driveable and<\/em> sellable. As pointed out by Automotive News<\/em>, Ford\u2019s decision comes as an attempt to move the partially-built vehicles crowding its factory lots. Last month, hundreds of new Ford Broncos were spotted sitting idly<\/a> in the snow-covered lots near Ford\u2019s Michigan Assembly Plant, all of which await chip-related installations.<\/p>\n
Like many other companies, Ford has been grappling with the constraints introduced by the chip shortage. After the lack of semiconductors forced Ford to scale back production of its popular F-150<\/a> last year (and once again earlier this month<\/a>), it started giving customers the option to purchase the pickup without automatic start-stop<\/a>, the feature that turns a vehicle\u2019s engine off when it comes to a complete stop. Ford gave affected owners a $50 credit in return.<\/p>\n
Other automakers have also had to make sacrifices due to the chip shortage, with GM dropping wireless charging<\/a>, HD radios<\/a>, and a fuel management module<\/a> that made some pickup trucks operate more efficiently. Meanwhile, Tesla sold some cars without USB ports<\/a> and made them installable at a later date. Luxury cars haven\u2019t been exempt from the shortage either, as Cadillac nixed its hands-free driving feature<\/a> in its 2022 Escalade, while BMW began shipping some cars without touchscreens<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n<\/aside>\nUpdate March 13th 1:45PM ET: <\/strong><\/em>Updated to clarify that the affected vehicles are Ford Explorers and that they\u2019ll be missing rear HVAC controls. Also updated to include some additional context surrounding Ford\u2019s removal of the F-150\u2019s start-stop feature due to the chip shortage, and information from a Ford spokesperson.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
