rssquires, I am in SW WI and reserved in the first 24 hours. I was able to order in Wave 2. I would switch to a rural dealer if they are EV Certified. My dealer is so rural that I am their "guinea pig" on that new ordering system (that has been used for how long now)! It is nice that they know me when I call them, lol.
Dealer Switch or No?
I’ve got a bit of a dilemma on my hands.
I unfortunately missed out on a 2022. It sounds like my local Ford dealership only received 1 allocation spot (the dealer claimed this was common in Wisconsin where I’m located)….. As I prepare for the order banks reopening over the summer (Reserved on 5/19/2021, #10821XXX), I started doing some research on potentially shifting my dealer association to increase my likelihood of getting an order slot.
I’ve been told I’m number 5 on the current/local dealers list of 118 reservations.
I also reached out to another Ford dealer in the area (more rural) to inquire about their priority list. They currently have 0 reservations associated with their dealership and they didn’t opt into being a Ford electric dealer until December 2021.
So the question becomes: Which dealer do you think I’m most likely to get an earlier order slot? #5 of 118 at a dealer who has been associated with ford electric cars for longer or #1 of 1 at a smaller dealership who only Ford electric a few months ago?
