The communication was targeted 100% towards the F150 EV reservations and said nothing about the any of the other lineups. This article was more on an opinion piece as so is your post. Dealer games will persist until Ford really goes after them for any and all shady business practices. Sure they can change allocations but doubt that will last long.

DCH Ford in Thousand Oaks has some in inventory but they have a $7,500 ADM. I really want to change my car but not at those mark-ups. I'm still waiting to hear from the VW dealerships in the area that have Id.4 in inventory.Doesn't look like it will make much difference, I just got a quote from Galpin Ford for an Escape PHEV with a $3,000 ADM. The sales person said they would not take MSRP for this car. It's not just Ford dealers though, I have been looking at the Kia Niro. I got two quotes one that wanted a $5,000 ADM and another that wanted $9,000. I can understand Galpin, it's early in the month and they only have 2 in their inventory. The Kia dealership shows 26 Niro EVs in their inventory so they don't appear to be a super short supply.
Wish you luck!I think it was used as an example. I don't think the actual model matters as much as the business practices he is frowing upon. There are never guarantees, but I'll be using this to apply pressure to getting the adm my dealer wanted to levy on it down to what I felt was reasonable.
I decided to bite the bullet and place an order for Grabber Blue Mach-e Select. Galpin Ford said they would honor MSRP on Mach-e orders but I have still to get that in writing. Now the wait begins.Wish you luck!
The dealer mentality from my experience is that Ford is only focusing on the F-150 with that statement.
Business as usual.

Yes all true and Ford was making a future statement. Dealers don’t mess with customer orders on the 150.ADM will go away when the economy returns to normal. Supply is less than demand. Very simple principal.
What I read in that statement was not ADM in general, but Ford having an issue with dealers marking up cars/trucks which are ordered online. Especially when the ADM is a surprise to the customer.
