I’m swapping in from a prius so definitely not buying the car for fuel economy. I feel like I’ve adequately hedged my purchase with Ford stock and with HFC stock :)

I am using duct tape to keep mine together

Reservation date must have been7/13 or 7/14. Order confirmed email from ford received 8/19–but I’d changed configuration with dealer. Order pulled by Ford (as noted by dealer) on 10/23 with build date of 1/4/21. I explicitly did not order any items that would cause a delayed delivery, like...

Dealer told me today that the build order is FEs, OBs, BLs. My build date is 1/4, car would arrive late Jan early Feb

Hey Raymo, I just got the same build date, I ordered a Badlands Area 51 with gray top, how about you?

That’s a good point on carbon taxes, I was not thinking of those. Just read a Forbes article from 9/19 which suggested 40/ton carbon tax would mean 40cents more per gallon at the pump. Not sure how they decided 40.00 is the right number, I’m not sure what AOC has proposed and I thought the...

Never order the 777 personally, I’m waiting for the 777x in Area51

You may be correct...I was basing my comments off the configurator, when I selected the off road cross bars under Badlands I didn’t see a charge.

So if the off-road cross bars are included standard with the Badlands but they would incur a late availability delivery, if you order one without cross bars, are you entitled to it later or do would you then incur the accessory charge when they are available? Just curious.
