I remember buying a car in 2000 in Europe -- walk into small dealership with almost no cars, place order, wait a good bit of time for it to arrive.
I thought, "Sure do like that American way of buying a vehicle that's already on the lot."
And here I sit with reservations for an electric F-150 and a Tesla vehicle, and it's hard to know when either will actually be available for delivery.
- hinkley 5y agoYou know back in the Reagan era I recall the grownups lambasting the communists because if you wanted a car you had to go on a waitlist. A waitlist! Can you imagine the indignity of a waitlist?
- Andys 5y agoI needed a new vehicle earlier in the year, and the forums suggested I'd be waiting several months. Instead, I used a commercial broker. Didn't get to choose the colour, but one arrived (to my doorstep) in 2 weeks. So it seems just like in communist times there are waitlists for some and not others?
- colordrops 5y agoThe F-150's range is not great - how do you plan to use the vehicle?
- browningstreet 5y agoWhat makes you say that? The stated ranges for the trucks include towing a load. Without the load, the range increases quite a bit. I'll mostly use it for family adventuring -- weekend skiing, camping, cycling.
