I just reserved one this morning and the dealership just called me and asked for $500 and what color would I like? UHM. I think i might cancel and reserve with a different dealership.
Here we go again...
It is a fake shortage.

I was railroaded by my original dealership of choice, then railroaded by Ford's allocation when I switched to a good dealer.
