Some truth to that, but I think a better analogy would be health/auto/home insurance. Yeah, across the board the carrier takes in more money than they pay out, but many purchasers come out ahead. More winners than in casinos, many more.
I am normally strongly against these things, but the...
I am not saying Ford wants to hold up production. But Ford cannot control everything post production. Ford is not cranking these thing out with a 3rd production line, that is simply false. And I have been following the production date threads, but more importantly I have been following actual...
This is a terribly irresponsible thing to say to OP. Truck could still head to body and trim shop, can sit for 2 weeks waiting to be loaded on a train, spend a month on the rails, wait 3-5 weeks for a convoy from rail to dealer, wait a week for pdi, etc... All of those are very real and not...

Anyways, if...
The way I look at Ford ESP is: If ten year coverage costs $1000, and a crystal ball showed you would need exactly $900 in repairs down the road.... Some might see that as losing $100. But I would rather spend 1000 2023 dollars than 900 2030 dollars.
In former times, that was true. Not now. Official policy was only acceptable reasons were death, loss of job, or denied financing. FMC saw more than a few dealers submitting bogus credit apps (to ensure financing denied), and a comically abnormal correlation between high margin models and...
Long time lurker, first time poster. Our dealer offered us $3500 to walk from our hybrid. Since we had also ordered an EB that was already built and just waiting for a train, we took the check. It paid for DP/FMIC/MBRP and a few nice dinners.
