Was going to order a Tremor this week but then got on this forum LOL

Walk into the dealership with exact build you want and the "COSTCO" online build sheet in hand. They start at invoice and work down from there if they want your business. There are not a lot of COSTCO dealers out there (but they will notice your source!)

When I ordered mine in July Costco did not have any dealers in southern California participating in costco pricing program. X plan with Mustang club or Experimental Aircraft memberships are likely the best route to get the bes tprice. Or go to Grainger. 2% under invoice is nice! Could buy you a flight and gas home

I ordered a 6.7 tremor yesterday and they didn’t say anything to me about a deposit

Some dealers just fudge the 500 dollar deposit … mine didn’t require it either

The deposit depends a lot on the customer. Most customers that order are serious, some are just shoppers. If its an odd build, like a 2wd, 6' Bed, Super Cab, a deposit is usually required. Cause if you don't buy it .. its gunna collect a lot of dust sit'n on the lot.

Had one dealer tell me 8-10 weeks. I thought that sounded WAY ambitious.

had another dealer, whom I trust, tell me 12-16 weeks.

I am in that ‘I want what I want’ mind set right now….6.7, spray in bed liner, 5th wheel prep, adaptive steering, etc

Is this going to be a 5-6 month deal like I’m reading what you all have/are going through?

Despite the optimism on these forums, the global situation is getting worse.

Gavekal: chip shortage might not end 'until 2024 - or even later'

Video: Citywire speaks to Vincent Tsui, who says the issue is ‘not so much about clever chips in Teslas, it’s more about the high-volume, low-margin processors in your dishwasher’.

I ordered a '21 beginning of March, it arrived last week.
I ordered a '22 the third week of July. Not even a VIN yet. In a normal year, the truck might be delivered by now.

The '22's aren't shipping with adaptive steering to my knowledge. Save yourself the hassle, buy off the lot.
