Not necessarily all of of them, but there sure seems to be quite a few that are using a lot of oil. I may not be a Ford engineer, but I've been working on and around cars for a long freaking time and swilling 2 or 3 quarts of oil in a few thousand miles and smoking out of the tail pipes is not normal in my book. Definitely not in a brand new $40K car, and if they told me that it was, we would have be having a major malfunction between us.

I bought mine at 10,700 miles so I have no experience to add, but that sure looks weird to me.
Like a lot of you, I'm wary of "it's normal to burn oil that much" but if you follow some of the different long-term road test blogs out there (like Edmund's, for example), they're constantly adding oil to almost every one of their cars, no matter the make.
In 11,000 miles owning mine, I haven't had to add a drop of oil, nor have I ever had to in any car I've owned, with zero engine problems ever.
