Intern: Lets give the buyer wireless charging for their cell phones. We can markup the msrp price $9k. Hit the $69k price point (giggles). And save the world from buying more usb cables.
Manager: Do it! You're hired
@watchdoc right there with you the more I think about my reservation. $65k for a SR XLT with the 9kwh pro power was my initial idea. But similar, the economics after multiple price hikes are no longer as favorable, even with the $7500 tax credit. Even if I only financed $45k at 5% for 72...
Just got a text a few minutes ago that my reservation has converted. 6/25/21 order date. June to Dec 2023 delivery date :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I know they say that the Lighting and F150 share a lot of part commonality. Would be curious from an FP&A standpoint is it specifically the motors, battery, labor, R&D or inefficient raw material procuement purchasing that's really driven up the cost, as raw Lithium/Kilogram is trending down...

Was just reading a similar article in the WSJ.. Typical Big Government with great ideas and ambition but over complicates the policy that they will need extensions after extensions, similar to the spending bills to keep the federal government from "shutting down". What's mindboggling is that...
As a finance guy, my spider sense is Ford is using this email / business initiative to more or less lock in deliveries for next years guidance to Wall Street analyst. Similar to an article today in the WSJ about people spending $550+ for a table at the Vegas sportbooks. “It’s like the nightclub...
Are you me in an alternate universe?!? Same exact rational. With working from home 100%, I barely put 10,000 miles on my Escape. And if I need to make a grocery store run or a long range family trip, I'm taking the fullsize SUV.
