This is how my dealer replied when I asked him about X-plan

My email to him

Now that Ford is saying Bronco is not eligible for X-plan, is MSRP the best you can do for pricing? There are dealers out there still offering X-plan pricing if you provide a PIN and others offering below invoice with no ADM or dealer add-ons and limiting document fees, etc

His response

Yes, you are correct that Ford announced that they will not honor
XPlan pricing. That being said I did let you what our pricing is
going to be if XPlan pricing was or wasn't available. I understand if
you want to move your reservation but from what dealer council
meetings I have been in these dealers could face repercussions for
saying they would honor plan pricing that is not available on the
Bronco such as lost allocations. Thank you.
Thats a flat out lie. Dealers can offer whatever discount they choose to match the "theoretical price" that the customer would have gotten w/x-plan, had it been offered. Just like any dealer could match granger/Stephen's deal if they chose. Why would they if they don't have to? Well that's up to us as customers to bid what the market will bear.

You should reply back that the interior colors don’t help either ???. What’s his excuse for those?

That’s why I joined the Texas group I just haven’t switched yet. I was trying to give them one last chance to earn my business but I guess they don’t want it. After all, they have “over 100 reservations” (I highly doubt that based on the area we’re in). I’ll be switching on Monday.

I was actually surprised he responded to my tweet. I do appreciate that he actually seemed to want to hear my frustrations. I know a lot of guys are bashing me for bitching about it, but I’ve also heard from a lot who feel similarly to how I do, so I’m glad I said something. Feel free to go post responses on that convo to express your frustrations if you have them.

Whoever wrote that diatribe probably just reinforced Farley’s rationale for denying it....as he argues for all those that ponied up the $25 to back door the X-Plan, which was absolutely a piece of why Farley it. It was a terrible convoluted argument, other than getting across frustration. Someone making the point that they are a supplier and work hard as a partner to Ford and think they deserve it as they usually get it, would have made more sense.

Do we know that is him tweeting actually or his intern or exec asst running his account?
Probably a combination of both. But my understanding from what I have read he is a huge car guy and listens to the customer. So I would not be surprised if it was him. He probably had noticed how loyal Tesla customers are in a lot of that has to do with Elon being so open on Twitter.
