"
there were 6132* Mach-E’s registered in the UK as of the end of Q3 2022
*but only 3751 are potentially able to run BlueCruise due to hardware limitations on the lower trims.
" (Source a Mach-E forum)
However Ford have now stayed "All Mach-E vehicles built from 2023‡‡ are eligible for a 90-day free trial of Ford BlueCruise", so even the "cheapest" select model will have the tech.
So assuming the ratios stay similar. SEE have just increased revenue from the Mach-E by 60% in the UK by Ford's decision.
Will be interesting to know the breakdown, and therefore increase, on those sold in the US.
I suspect the "minimum projected revenue based on initial models" has changed.
And if PMG did invest his own money. What would satisfy people to be quiet about it? 50k? 100k? 250k? Someone will always say "it's not enough. He should be investing more of his own money if he's that confident. This investment was just for show".
Paul can spend his money on whatever he likes.
@soulboy As with anything tax related. It depends on the options scheme (my experience is in the UK).
EMI options are CGT (and can benefit from Entrepreneurial tax relief) - most UK start-ups will offer early joining staff options using EMI.
But EMI has certain criteria for when they can be issued based on the size of the company and the business they participate in.
CSOP and most other schemes I know of in the UK are taxed at income.
I don't know what PMGs option scheme is. Or how the schemes may be affected for an Aus company listed in the UK.
My options have always been held in startups (EMI Scheme)
But if i still held options at the time of a liquid event, if I sold them it would be exactly like soulboy mentioned. Exercise at 10p. Sell at 25p. I don't have to pay any cash. I walk away with 15p/share.
I then pay CGT on the 15p. But with Entrepreneurial Tax Relief. That is reduced to 10%.....
Whenever I've had options. I don't exercise them until the last possible minute I need to (leaving the company or the cliff edge hits).
Just because they become fully vested doesn't mean you have to buy them. In the past I've my options have a 10 year window from issue in which to exercise. Even if they fully vested after 4.
It says on their briligant website that they partner with IdeaBoxVentures
Given the similarity in naming. I'd say the same people are potentially behind both openbox and ideabox
Probably from one of the commission free trading platforms.
Outside of the states, the Escape is branded as the Kuga in the UK. It's a great car (I have the PHEV with all the tech).
And it has a better assisted driver grading rating than the Tesla Model 3
