Ford will ship and sell cars that are lacking chips

Ford, like many other businesses, has been dealing with the effects of the chip shortage. Last year, a scarcity of semiconductors led Ford to reduce the manufacturing of its famous F-150 pickup truck, and in November, Ford and GM announced a partnership with chipmaker GlobalFoundries to help alleviate the bottleneck.

Due to the chip shortage, other automakers have had to make concessions, such as GM removing wireless charging, HD radios, and a fuel management module that helped some pickup trucks run more effectively. Meanwhile, Tesla offered some vehicles without USB ports, which may be added later. Cadillac dropped its hands-free driving function in its 2022 Escalade, while BMW began shipping some vehicles without touchscreens.
