The issue is that Ford interfaces with hundreds if not thousands of suppliers. The reason they use their own /8 for their internal IP addresses is so that there are not IP conflicts between Ford and their suppliers with RFC 1918 space usage. It would take a very, very large financial incentive to get them to consider moving to RFC 1918 and then having to deal with conflicts with suppliers.
That's not correct, at Comcast you get up to a /60 subnet of IPv6.
Just checked my router, I even got a /56 on my home router from Cox.
