Just to be clear, I am *not* disagreeing with what you said.I live in an area where I have internet about 50% of the time via broadband, including at my house, and that's the only way to get it. Yet I am 20 minutes from a city of 80K people who all have cable. My son lives in a city of 1.5 million and half the damned time his phone is dead.
All this to say, I think for everyone who says Ford shouldn't have to worry about those of us who are in the sticks, or too far away from the real world, or whatever, there are just as many owners who will need that paper manual at some time or another because they are out of range of internet, their phone is out of juice, they don't have a device with a data plan, or any number of valid reasons for them.
Those of us lucky enough to never worry about internet should feel free to empty some space in their glove boxes. The rest of us should at least have an option where, if we ask at time of purchase, Ford will send us a paper copy in the mail or give us one at the dealership. It just keeps customers happy while still saving FoMoCo some money.
I just wanted to clarify that the electronic owners manuals don’t require internet connectivity. As long as your car has juice and you can boot up the center stack, you can access the owners manual through that.
