I couldn’t agree more.Farley is a moron and Ford has changed the rules twice so far during this whole process. The good dealers in no way are at fault over this.

“In response to the question about allocations, regardless of the vehicle, we communicate to our dealers that we expect them to operate within Ford’s allocation system, which treats all dealers fairly and complies with state laws, and to not take customer orders in excess of what the dealer knows it can fill.”
John I can’t help but feel this is a direct stab at granger and you.
John @StephensAutoCenter,
It appears Ford has increased the prices again. Will price protection be honored for what the original order invoice stated? Reserved 8/16/21. Converted to order 10/26/21.
TIA!
Our price is based on the invoice price at the time of final build at Ford. The Build Summary you receive when we placed your order is an estimate based off of what Ford generated. If Ford offers additional price protection above the original price protection, they haven't yet informed us, but it will be up to them.

Hey, right in front of me at #16. I'm hoping we get some good news or at least a decent allocation this month. We got a boatload of Badlands in the top 16 and my only hope is constraints on LUX as I'm just a high package peasant.John, thanks as always for keeping us informed.
A month ago, your spreadsheet indicated I was #20 on the overall SAC list, and #15 in line in terms of unscheduled orders. Sitting here with crossed fingers every time I make incremental progress...
What will I spend my time tracking once this is delivered? I know...my Cybertruck order!

John, from your mouth to the Ford Gods ears.I have heard three different things from Ford on three different occasions:
1st Occasion: "....if Ford has the supplies, they're building everything." or something close to that.
2nd Occasion: "....you're getting hosed." Paraphrased of course.
3rd Occasion: ".....if the supplies are available, we're building ALL reservations in 2022." again, paraphrased.

I just screenshot a dealers post from the price increase thread and it appears we are price protected though it will work different for this. Here you go...We who placed orders in 2021 (possibly even those of us who agreed for code 99 status for the multitude of reasons) have the 2021 price locked in. Ford told us late last year what that difference was between model years. The price has gone up again, so logically, the difference between 21 and 22 has increased as well. We should still be paying the 2021 price. Take with grain of salt. Ford doesn't have to do anything. Then can totally shoot themselves in the foot by refusing to adjust the price protection amount, but that's their prerogative. This is already shaping up to be my final brand new Ford purchase.
Sweet, thanks for sharing that. Still falls under "my dealer said" but looks legit besides the user nameI just screenshot a dealers post from the price increase thread and it appears we are price protected though it will work different for this. Here you go...
