They also build F-150s in Michigan and in Kansas City. So they produce around 650 at each plant per day.

As someone with a definite 2022 delivery, if a white top is available, I’ll be ordering it, but will be willing to trade it with someone that gets an earlier delivery. I don’t want a white one, but I know a lot of you do.

So one person doing this on their own and a dealer potentially doing this with over a hundred reservations behind the back of the manufacturer that told them not to is the same thing to you? Again, this is why traditional dealers have the reputation they do. Someone calling you a car salesman...

I’m sure everyone else’s best interest is driving this. /s You’re doing this so you can get inventory before reservations are delivered. It goes against what Ford has been trying to do throughout this process. You found a way around Ford’s threat of punishment if too many orders weren’t sold to...

This is exactly the kind of game that causes so much hatred of traditional dealerships.

That was an absolute barrage of bullets correcting math! :ROFLMAO: Everyone will be sure to use a calculator in the future...

Might want to check your math. $16.5 million and it’s split among all of the dealers that hold the reservations, not Ford, Inc.

Albert has stated this is up to the receiving dealership. He didn’t sound optimistic that many would do this. My thought is their little sensitive feelings would be hurt over not getting the sale when they’re trying to screw buyers over and Granger isn’t.

Depends on the dealer. granger has said no additional deposit at order, but I’m sure some will require it.

Not to beat this to decathlon, but I just received my new reservation email from Ford. To me this means that they will produce according to the time stamp of the order, not on when a dealer inputs it.

I certainly understand both sides of the "uber home" and "from my cold dead hands spectrum. I was really just curious to see what everyone's thought process would be in this hypothetical.

Meanwhile in Dearborn this morning, someone in IT is trying to figure out why the small spike in reservations happened at 12:01 this morning.

$10k ADM on a Ranger?!?!

It came up because I’ve had strangers offer to buy my ‘75. It was my grandpa’s, but I’m sure there is a price that could sway me to let it go. It would be completely ridiculous for someone to pay what it would take, but there is a number.

The granger deal would be over, this is after delivery. My reservation is late enough that I couldn’t see this happening to me, but I’m sure some early deliveries might. The question is more about the threshold for someone to let go of it once they have it.

My wife and I were having this conversation last night, so I decided to get your thoughts. Here’s the hypothetical situation. You have an early reservation and you are one of the first to get your Bronco. Sometime within the first month, you come out of work or a restaurant to a note on the...

I'm in Denver, please add me to the group. Reservation already with Granger. Waiting on my timestamp.

Yep, I was dead wrong. Apologies to everyone for getting hopes up.

I’m starting to think that after a long day, I read “use tax” and my brain processed it as the “ownership tax.” I have far less confidence in this than I did an hour ago. I’ll still call the Dept of Revenue tomorrow to confirm.
