Pretty sure they will keep currently prioritized customers at the front of the line even as MY changes to 2023. They just won’t (hopefully) allow another round of (additional) prioritizations. We shall see!

Yes, this will totally work. Good thinking! If you fill up the trailer roof space with panels you can generate up to 2kW. Over the course of the day it’ll add up to probably 10-12 kWh, which will translate to 25 miles added range on the truck. You should be able to keep your existing inverter...

Thank you for the update!

Interesting! I did not know there’s regular audits. How often do you see that happening? And is it spread evenly across dealers or are they looking for red flags before they do one?

Yikes! We sometimes end up with some of y’alls used trucks down here in Mississippi. Always totally rusted out around fenders and floorboards….now I know why!

And when asked, they also said, several times, that the Pro is available to retail customers. Muddying the waters, needlessly. They wanted all the free press, and buyer enthusiasm, for something they really had no intention to make available to everyone. Certainly not the crime of the century...

I think your last point is a valid one. Not sure if anyone at Ford is aware of this, but it would certainly cut down on some of the confusion and disappointment if they made it more clear who their intended customers for the various trims are. They probably should do so at least going forward...

Luckily available aftermarket for less than $100.

At the risk of going off topic, I’d really like to suggest to everyone on here to PLEASE follow all safety rules including speed limits. It’s my public road, not your private racetrack. Thank you!

The pounds just keep dropping off. Talk about a weight loss program!

I think you summed it up perfectly.

I really don’t see how anyone would have been pissed off just by being told the truth, namely that there’s a line, and that he’s at the end of the line because he showed up late. Not sure we need to let people’s entitlement issues run roughshod over the basic fairness of waiting your turn. Let’s...

Sure, and if Ford had done the right thing and announced that policy from the start we wouldn’t be having this discussion right now. They wanted to have it both ways and that’s backfiring on them now.

If Ford had not given in to dealer pressure the dealers would have had the perfect out, they could have just told people “it’s not us, bad corporate is making us do it”. As it is they simply have the next batch of not-quite-as-bigwig customers mad at them. And while there’s certainly a lot of...

First day reservation and #3 in line is pretty good. You’re getting a truck by the end of this year.

The opposite is true. They already have a lock on their long standing customers who aren’t REALLY all that into it. The new conquest customers are the ones they are fighting for and need to concentrate on, even if that means they are marginally offending some of the longer standing folks.

Absolutely, but they should be able to honestly answer questions about it at the time. And Ford needs to understand that most of their future revenue will not come from people that have been buying their vehicles for the last 50 years. If they play it better than they have here, it just might...

Well, I did just that back in December. Emailed the dealer to ask these questions. Never got a reply. Finally found out after the fact that they had prioritized five people ahead of me, knocking me back to sixth in line based on “total dollar value spent at dealership”. I don’t have any problem...

The reason I didn’t answer the questions is that they are irrelevant to the discussion. Interesting that you used the Ferrari “pay to play” analogy earlier in support of your theory, yet act like you’ve never heard of a stranger idea now. And definitely strange that you claim to know exactly how...

Outstanding, you’re admitting that the changes Ford made to the process resulted in fairness going out the window. We’re making progress here! You further claim that these changes are in Ford’s best interest as a business, which takes us back to the beginning of our discussion. And is still...
