Make no mistake, the 2nd Novelis fire has taken AICP from On Plan to Below.
Subscriptions are for re--tards who can't count money and could be easily deceived with extra bills on their credit cards. In other words, most of the subscribers are financial ret-0-rards.
FMC has been lucky that a few excuses to slowdown production have popped up. Quarter after quarter, I see the number of vehicles "sold" by FMC (to the dealers). However, I see the dealers' lots full, including last year models. How many Ford vehicles are actually still in the lots? IDK, but I noticed an increased in plant shutdowns during this year.

NO one wants to subscribe to their car they want to buy it and then drive it.
@d8, Exactly. I quit from Ford 2 years ago as my group was constantly being pulled off of fixing issues with existing features to work in subscription features which will never fly. Don’t worry about the screen going blank when you adjust the front defrost, work in the perfume feature. We will sell millions of scent pods!

@a8 loss = negative profits. So, boost in "profits" statement still is true.

“ The next-gen Model e products will be an immediate boost in profits”
When is that? Do you have date?
I just took the biggest sh-t of my life, based on that experience, I can definitively say this is not true.
The next-gen Model e products will be an immediate boost in profits and subscription based services and features will be a significant portion of that. But you OP and customers will have be patient until these products are launched to the public. Stay tuned.
