What ever happened to the Ford "cracking down on" ADMs?

It was pointed out earlier I believe…

the dealers ARE the customer.
Not the people that they sell to.
I mentioned it, although I'm sure others have made this obvious observation as well.

While true at the moment, I think the goal is to adopt more of a Tesla model, where Ford either sells to customers directly or at least develops a new relationship with the dealers that allows Ford to control more of the sales process (set the sale price).

Articles like this talk about how Farley wants to segment Ford, ostensibly for more efficient operations, etc. But long term I think he wants to allow the electric vehicle division to sell just as Tesla does.

Yeah the "Gotta have it" FOMO for the Demon 170 is unreal. There are posts on the Hellcat forum of people having their $25k deposits getting refunded because others are offering $100k ADM. It's a sh#tsh0w

Reminds me of the Durango thing where it's a limited then ended up coming back and now there's a class action

so how to get pin, buy membership then what?
then you bring your card into the dealer and they give you the discount...granted the DH doesn't get the x-plan. FYI (from me trying. could be different elsewhere)

It is truly sad to see that Ford has yet to do what is needed and cut the middleman. No one even wants to deal with a dealership. The user experience is not their priority that is for sure. I've been doing my research here in Los Angeles and they are asking 15-20K over MSRP for the Dark Horse and 5K for a GT.
