Although A/Z Plan is limited, if you know someone who works at Ford, work for a supplier to Ford, or own at least 100 shares of Ford stock, you can get X Plan pricing. On the base Focus Electric, this amounts to $27,840 ($28,665 inc. D/D).
So you can get the discount pricing if you own 100 shares of Ford common stock?
The current share price of Ford is under $15 right now, so it might be worth it to buy 100shares to get the discount.
You could sell the stock later on if you want and keep the discount?

Ford shareholders who have held at least 100 shares for at least six months get discounts on the purchase of a Ford or Lincoln vehicle under its "friends and neighbors" program.

To qualify, they need to fill out a form and send proof of stock ownership to the company, which in turn sends the shareholder a personal identification number to give to the dealer.

The actual dollar amount of the discount varies by model and dealer availability, but a letter sent to shareholders describing the program says the price is approximately 4% above the employee price, "saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars on the purchase price."

Ford has about 3.8 billion shares outstanding, 43% of them held by individual shareholders, though fewer than 1,000 or so cars a year are sold to shareholders using the special pricing, a spokesman says.
