An EV with 200-mile range is my daily driver. We put 21K miles on it last year. You obviously have never owned one. Stop regurgitating nonsense you read on the internet.
This is proof that range anxiety is a lie sold to you by the auto industry. It simply doesn't matter beyond the ~200 mile mark. The Tesla Model 3 is ranked 120 (bottom 20%) on this list. It is the most popular EV by far and has more range than most other EVs you will see on the road.
Ferrari already has a car with that name and it is regarded as one of the finest models they have ever produced. Ford sued them 10 years ago when they tried to call their new race car F150. Ford will never give a vehicle the name F-50.
This might have something to do with the threat of allocation cuts when a dealer sells too many retail orders to someone other than the person who ordered it. Maybe the guys you talked to thought it would be okay, but someone higher up said no. I guess your case turned out to be a minor...
Before anyone else says walk away, keep in mind that OP is in Hawaii where there are only 3 Ford dealerships to choose from unless you want to pay and wait for a truck to be shipped by sea.
How is the starter set up in the hybrid? Could it be that the battery charge is so low that it doesn't have enough cranking amps to turn the engine over?
Even the guys that do plenty of interstate sales like Chapman and Granger can goof things up every once in awhile. Every state is different. Every state is weird. Here in Arizona, private party used auto sales must be notarized.
I'm in the same boat as you with a base Tacoma and an unscheduled Mav. Resale value on base model trucks is pretty good. So my plan is to hold it and trade/sell it when my Mav gets here. I don't like waiting either, but this is the right move if you have an active order and you're not interested...
