They do and they're pretty great too! I had a Kia Niro 2017 touring, which was absolutely phenomenal. I just sold it today but it was my favorite car. I hope the maverick can match it in driving and functionality. I towed a 1,500lb boat with that Niro
Just sayin that of the 100k reservations only 20-30% of them have been converted into actual orders - according to Tim. So, 10k built this year is nearly half of the orders.
If it's 2022 fine as long as my car now holds out. I'll be first in line for a 2023 model then maybe I'll get a bigger screen and more features. This is the vehicle I want I'm willing to be as patient as possible as long as my car now holds up. I'm in no rush
Tim said its more likely 50-60,000 orders. My issue is that they have the capacity to produce double what they are currently planning to produce. 10k more likely represents 20% of orders. In addition, there has been no communication regarding why they are producing the hybrid in such a small percentage or why it is not being scheduled 'until further notice. ' If this seems normal to you that is fine - it does not to me!
In my humble opinion, PRICE!!
He says at the 59:20 mark 20-30% of the 100k orders are converted. 100,000 X (.2 or .3) = 20,000 to 30,000 orders.
Thank you! Nothing like a little exaggeration to make it look worse than it is. You are correct this is the new normal. Hell in LA we can hardly buy regular unleaded gasoline and we produce a lot of it. Crazy times!
Thank you for presenting the facts...too much misinformation in this forum.
We have plenty of gas here in south Florida, but boats are 2-3x the price they were pre-March 2020. Boat dealers are 12-60 MONTHS out on delivery. Think about that, 60 MONTHS! That's usually the loan term length for a financed boat!
Wow amazing! I think our gas crunch is when they closed all the refineries with Hurricane IDA. Things are returning to normal, but another excuse to raise prices again. GEEZ!!
Here is what I think: Quite a few orders are going to end up not being sold to the person that ordered them. And then they will be sold to whoever. Don't think that a salesman can't get a relative to send a picture of their drivers license.What does the dealership have to do other than give back a deposit? They already have the DL on file and can change the email address to the dealership (keep in mind that some dealership are using their email and not the customers) so the order can stay on the books because the deposit went to the dealership not Ford. So the Maverick is built and sent to dealership and what...the customer is a no show! "Oh my!" says the dealership GM, we must get our $$$ back! Bam! 2-5k markup and on the lot that "canceled" Maverick goes!
That’s actually starting to become my plan! That would make this truck even better!
Please see the 18:09 mark in the same video you just uploaded. This is part of the problem.
