I just got the notification today that my truck is built and going through final inspection before shipping to the dealer.

which dealer are you taking delivery from? I'm using DCH in Eatontown, no ADM.

Maplecrest Ford in Mendham. No adm on customer orders. But if they do get a cancellation and one's put in inventory they will charge ADM.

thanks TOM, that's exciting, and I know you'll give us the best REVIEW of the charging times, curves, KWs, and driving efficiencies along the way - good luck - maybe mine will be right behind yours. My little 3,000lb camper is waiting impatiently : )

I believe DCH is the same.

Personally, I don't have a problem with them charging more for inventory cars. They're an independent business that will charge according to supply and demand. Nobody complains when the dealer has to sell a car for $5,000 under MSRP because nobody wants it. Years ago I bought a leftover Mitsubishi for like $5,000 under dealer cost. They did it just to get it off the lot.

But when it's ordered directly as was the case with the lightning, the markups are excessive in my opinion.

I’m with you on inventory cars. I don’t like it when people order and wait a year or two years to get it.

As far as inventory goes they should sell for any ADM they think they can get. If someone is willing to pay that‘s a business decision for the dealer and personal decision for the purchaser. Nothing for me to comment on.

Can’t wait to see your range and charging reviews.
