Im sure some of them just list it at that price but once you either call them or walk in the door its a different story
I'd bet on this. It's all bait until you step in and see the actual window sticker. Prove me wrong, then I'll make a road trip. 😁

Just got the call. They have 1 of the 12 protos designated for my area coming in 2 weeks. I tried to just do the transaction over the phone but they want me to swing by later today to meet with the salesman. Sounds like I am getting a sales pitch, does anyone have some intel I could arm myself with going into this meeting?

This crap is why dealers will be extinct soon. The manufacturers don't want this happening, they have nothing to gain from a dealer adding $20k. In fact, it hurts them, tarnishes the brand, frustrates buyers, etc. GM is stopping the flippers by voiding the warranty if you sell a Corvette sooner than 12 months. Ford is cracking down on dealers by forcing them to take 80% of their orders online at the advertised price. If they violate it they lose their allocations, 3 strikes and the Ford kicks them to the curb.

I beg of you, don't pay the ADM. Patience...

If you haven't done so, get pre-approved at a local Credit Union so you're not forced to take their financing with the possibility of your rate jacked up to almost 3% or more.

My local Kansas dealer called, the allocated car they are to receive is the Proto with auto. Went in to chat about door date and ADM, they receive the car about the end of September, $10K markup and no firm date on ordering what I want (blue, performance, manual) I'll not be paying 20% premium.

I agree with this post. I would like to just order a car online and then go and pick it up. No haggling or any of that booshit

I purchased a couple of Teslas this way and my mind was blown. It is so hard to go back to the traditional dealership experience. You build the car online, leave a deposit, wait for a VIN and then you take delivery in like 15-20 minutes since all the paperwork is done. No dealer fees or some guy in the finance department trying to sell you undercoating.

I hope it'll still be like this when I go to pick up a cybertruck :).
