While GM doesn’t currently offer an all-electric model directly in the country, which heavily incentivizes their purchase, Ford recently started shipping the new Mustang Mach-E there.
Ford of Norway tweeted a video of some of the cars delivering pizzas throughout the country, referencing a previous GM teaser that had Ferrell prank ordering five million pizzas with anchovies for everyone in the Scandinavian nation.
