Wow, never thought about it that way but makes some sense.while I don't like it, and really am rather aggravated that we've been pushed back so many times, I understand that FORD, probably in the realization of having the much pricier models built before June 30th, is wanting to give the public, and their shareholders, the 'good news' about all the MONEY that is being amassed toward this 'sold out' vehicle manufacturing process - it's only good news for them if they can squeeze just another 1, or 1,000 Lariats or Platinums before the second quarter P&L 'deadline'... while they might not can show these as 'sold' yet, they can certainly book them as 'built' and 'ready for sale' units - no matter how you slice it, the profit will be there.
I recently purchased some F(FORD) stock for this very reason, so while I'm aggravated at the push back, I also see the reasoning.... at least I HOPE that's the reason, and not a shortage of parts, etc.
Strange how many early wave orders have barely received build dates but my order in under 8 weeks went to production and it's a Lariat.
Wonder how timing of the fiscal year (July-June) in corporations like Ford may do this push for the pricier items ?
