Happy 4th of July everyone!

Hey Zach, I put in my order for a GT Premium my $1000 good faith, skin in the game. Does that then assure me a price lock, to avoid a surprise at delivery? I have heard of other dealers hiking at delivery. ThanksWe require a non-refundable deposit for a couple of reasons.
1- We have found a pattern of some people ordering multiple cars at multiple dealerships and taking the first one that comes in. This helps eliminate some of that and reduces the number of people in line.
2- Putting "skin in the game" eliminates some tire kickers. We had a list for the GT500 (i'm not sure which model year) and had 20 people put their name without a deposit on the list who wanted it. None of those people took delivery of the GT500 when I called and had an allocation available.
Within the last few years, we've learned with supply chain issues, etc. estimates can be wrong. If we can't produce a 2024 dark horse for you, we'll gladly refund you the $1000. But if we can get a 2024 dark horse, and you don't take delivery of it, we wouldn't refund your money. These are a limited supply vehicle and we are ordering YOUR dream configuration, which may not be EVERYONE's dream configuration. So if we're going to place the order for you, we ask for a small (relatively speaking) commitment of $1000 on a $70,000+ vehicle.

Hi Zach,Our current unscheduled order count is down to 1! We have 20 orders assigned with VINs and in production. So the current wait times for a 2024 build are in the 90-120 day window from order to delivery!
Thank you to everyone who has ordered so far!
Zach
We're still waiting on those.Hi Zach,
That’s awesome. How’s the dark horse looking? Have you had any get scheduled yet?
Thanks!

Yes, we've been able to get all ours scheduled but it could potentially lead to longer lead times.Hi Zach- I’m looking to order is the night package still on constraint? Thank you
We have about 15-20 produced. I know Ford has started some extra quality control measures on new releases. So once they receive the quality control sign off, they should be shipped.@Zach@Granger Any word on estimated ship dates or deliveries?
If you hear anything about vehicles being released please keep up updated. Not all dealers communicate with their buyers like you do….thank you for everything you put out for us!I know Ford has started some extra quality control measures on new releases. So once they receive the quality control sign off, they should be shipped.
thanks Zach. To clarify can I place my order now if it is on constraint?Yes, we've been able to get all ours scheduled but it could potentially lead to longer lead times.

Yes, you sure can.thanks Zach. To clarify can I place my order now if it is on constraint?
We've got vehicles produced now that are just waiting to be shipped that were ordered in March-May. There's always a little bit of a hold on the initial orders. But I would say 3-5 months on an order placed today.Based upon what you have seen and know so far....what are realistic timelines? From order to dealer delivery?
