This is why I will Activate on Ford Pass and hope someone activated it on the other end(crossing fingers) but to tell you the truth, if someone decides to pay $30k over then God Bless them. I hope the dealer have answers for the media coverage they will get
I'm gonna activate mine because i wanna get to the dealer as soon as it gets there. Last thing i want is for it to sit there a week and have all the employees using it after hours for joy rides. Then when i go pick it up, it'll have 70 miles on odometer and they'll say "that's how it came."

Speaking of this, we should start an odometer reading thread once they start arriving to see how many miles are on them when customers pick them up. That way we can get an average of "legit" miles vs dealership joy ride miles.

There was a Youtube post about a week or two ago showing a dealership with a White XLT in their showroom already. I just tried to search for it but it seems to have been taken down. IDK how but at least one dealer already had one (Mannequin?) Anyone else have a link to the vid i'm talking about?
No dealer has a mannequin in stock as of 4/25/22. If anything, it was a preproduction model that was being toured around to dealers.

I was thinking the same. Just curious how they convinced them to park it in their showroom.

Here'a the most interesting listing I've found on Autotrader. $100k for lariat, delivery available. Sorry gentlemen, you won't get the $350k flip like the Hummer EV lol.

Very good idea!
Never thought about that salespeople will drive around and even let customers drive yours to make a sale!

Some scary videos:

Probably a pre-production as he did say it was an "event". If it was pouring outside and weather forecast was all rain I can see them putting it inside a few days for people to look at as only Ford can drive it.

regardless of customer orders dealerships will get their own allocation to sell as they please.
