TP SHORTAGENot to mention backup in case of a TP shortage. Oops mentioned it…
I did great on buying Ford when I ordered my first maverick in August 2021 around 12.75/sh which I sold when it popped to about $23/sh in December. I recently bought Wolfspeed for $7.70/sh in Sept. Is currently trading over $16/sh. They make silicon carbide based devices and are opening plants in USA and Germany. The pop was caused by qualifying for Fed Grant plus tax benefits plus two $750 mill investors. Not making money yet! Company was the silicon carbide solely owned subsidiary retained when led light manufacturing CREE Was sold. Their silicon carbide mosfets can switch higher currents with over 15% better efficiency and can be stacked to switch grid size currents. I expect big demand for products. Bosch has paid millions to reserve production. Am not sure but expect their mosfet to eliminate the relay noise in our Mavs when used. They have zero voltage across contacts when switching. They also sold their RFID subsidiary. Their SiC plant can make 200mm wafer, largest size in world in Marcy NY.So mid-2019, F was down around $10/share, plus that fat dividend. Looked like a great holding to me, bought a bunch (not 5mil like you). Come 2020, Covid hit, dropped down into the $4's, then the dividend was eliminated.
Took some time to get my money back out of it,,,,,,

Is that for 2025 models? I just finally figured out how to get my purchase points today. I didn't receive my 2024 XLT until 10/28, and I got 42K points today (I ordered it back on 2/29, but they asked for the purchase date, not the order date when I applied for the points).just a FYI, as of Oct 1st the reward has dropped to 31K points, from 42K.

Here is the notice. If you got 42K on 10/28, you did good.Is that for 2025 models? I just finally figured out how to get my purchase points today.

Did you get xplan pricing?thanx. i'll need to check on those points. I hate leaving anything on the table for Ford., even if I do own 5 million shares of their stock. S
I think it's about $155.How much money is 31k worth? Was going to buy the truck bed mat and slow lift assist strut tailgate
Maybe they based it on my order date (which I assume the VIN would tell them). Anyway, I'm glad I got the full points!Here is the notice. If you got 42K on 10/28, you did good.
