People put down deposits for every electric truck in development, leaving dealers in the lurch when they eventually cancel all but one::When an electric truck customer doesn’t show up to pick up their order, dealer are left with a car that might be hard to sell to someone else.

    Given that dealers don’t have stock sitting around and are marking up both new and used right now… boo hoo?

    Tell me they’re not just turning around and selling that to the next person in the list. Really hard to have any sympathy for car dealers after how they’ve treated consumers.

    Dealer markups the last few years have pushed significant market share to fixed price sales like tesla, polestar, and rivian. I ended up with a polestar after I couldn’t find a Ford Mach E, hyundai ioniq5 or VW ID4 without markup. Are we supposed to feel sorry for them when they have inventories building up?

      And that it’s their fault for gouging and thinking people won’t shop around? They’ve done it to themselves with greed.
