$1000 for every hand that touched it.Hypothetical Question. Would you let your dealer "rent" your new 2021 for a month to show it off in his showroom - starting with the day it arrived? How much would it cost him?

This is a trick question right??????Hypothetical Question. Would you let your dealer "rent" your new 2021 for a month to show it off in his showroom - starting with the day it arrived? How much would it cost him?
Me!!How many of those are people that are holding two Broncos?
I’d do that for a manual sasquatch 2.7l ecoboost.They should have made the reservation fee non-refundable. Weed out the window shoppers and impulse buyers. That's what Tesla did on their upcoming model releases. Plus they get to use that fee as capital to invest in the build.
I'm not so sure about that. Given the newness of the reservation model to most car buyers, I think it had to be refundable. Especially with a car that isn't even final and for which no final pricing information is available. I would probably have a different opinion if we were talking about a limited production vehicle.They should have made the reservation fee non-refundable.

You know that's a good point with the Tesla deposit. They sort of skirt the line, it's refundable but only back to your Tesla account. Which doesn't do you any good towards getting the money back if you don't use any Tesla services.I'm not so sure about that.

It really doesn't matter to us if the weak hands are shaken out now or later. Eventually, they will fall and we will move forward into their spots.
Also, Tesla used the $100 refundable deposit for the Cybertruck. They now have somewhere north of 650k reservations. And for Ford, I don't think the capital investment thing really holds any water.
Sorry, I just don't really see any tangible benefits to anyone that would have been gained by following your idea.
That's the first I've heard about the Cybertruck deposit only being refundable into funny money. I actually don't believe this to be the case. I don't think that they could get away with proclaiming that "Deposits are $100 and are fully refundable." if that were the case. I could be wrong and if I am, then I guess my $100 will be locked away in a useless Tesla account for the foreseeable future.You know that's a good point with the Tesla deposit.

Looks like it varies depending on model ordered and deposit program (and amount put down). I had a model Y on order, before the whole pandemic hit and continuing aftermath has changed my driving needs. I cancelled that order and reluctantly gave my free $100 bonus to Tesla.
