On Tesla, they do have a few corporate owned dealerships. One of the interesting tricks they are using to get around state law is to build on Tribal lands which are exempt .https://apnews.com/article/technology-environment-and-nature-business-native-americans-pueblo-65235c11caa91c93ea845108f078b0b9

This has come up before. The Hermosillo plant when the Maverick is made is under a union called SINTRAFORD that isn't UAW affiliated. Most unions there are under the Confederation of Mexican Workers, but thats changing since some folks are starting to view the CMW as captured by industry. UAW...

I think if it was real shenanigans, they wouldn't have told you its in Canada, they'd just have they have no idea where it. I bet its just a railyard screwup where the wrong train car got hooked to the wrong engine.

I mean, supposedly the most prolific entry level care was the Model T, which was similarly priced adjusting for inflation, and then continued to drop in price. In some cases, people converted them to tractors.

Order received and clean, Priority is.....19......I'm gonna go get a chair, cause this is gonna be a wait (as expected).

LOGOS!

I stumbled on a batch of listed Maverick Lemons on cargurus awhile back. It seemed like a lot of them had been declared lemons due to ford not having replacement side airbags for when they recalled. Not exactly the end of the world, but I know there's gonna be folks who don't want to be driving...

I think they may be out already. I'm a member and there's one of their car questionnaires in my profile message box right now.

Can you give some examples?

*sits patiently for his XL Hybrid*

Not to get too serious, but the one that gets me is when people call the Maverick a "cheap piece of Mexican trash":. Like somehow A) Mexico or Mexicans would be responsible for the materials chooses to make the truck out of, and B) that for some reason because it's made in Mexico, It's worse...

whole article on this: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/641640/real-reason-cars-have-grab-handles-above-doors "As for why the driver’s door often lacks a grab handle, there are a few possible reasons. For one, Nodum.org points out, the steering wheel can function as a makeshift grab handle...

Copy copy, If you did it in person, then you should be fine. Mostly I just didn't want you getting a call 4 months from now being like "yeah, about that color"

I think I see the possible problem. Ford Canada's site has the 2023 Maverick builder up, while the US site has the 2024. They may have differing option packages in Canada that I don't know about, but I would check with the dealer if you are really getting Iconic Silver, as that was dropped from...

I might be seeing this wrong, or maybe the truck pictured isn't the exact build, but is that the graphite gray? I had wanted that, as every ford I've owned has been that color, but I have XL only money and they decided to only put it on fleet vehicles for 2024 on XLs. Curious how you got it.

I'd rather have unions than not. While I believe they have been used at times to exclude people that had the skills and they just didn't like, not to mention some of the corruption issues, pretty much the only reason we have any sort of safety regulations, workers comp, or time off is unions...

That's been a fun part about getting a Maverick for me. No one in my extend family or friends group knew about the Maverick before I told them about it. I've never seen it advertised, which I assume Ford didn't put much of a premium on considering the built up demand. In fact, had my car not...

Yeah, I think parts shortages are gonna be the big issue this time, not lack of manpower. It would interesting to see how many folks bailed on transferring their order. Wonder if that number will come out sometime.

Just to be clear, when you say "Take Delivery", do you mean picking up the truck or buying the truck and owning it instead of you?

UAW isn't really in Mexico. Hermosillo last I heard was under SINTRAFORD, a union affiliated with the Confederation of Mexican Workers (CTM). CTM is sort of like the AFL-CIO of Mexico. I say last I heard because other car plants have been breaking away from CTM as they view it as captured by...
