At the end of the day the dealers are going to have less new cars on the lot, with this only 20% of their allotments will be available for the lot. Everything else will be for customer orders. Can Ford deliver a customer order in 120 days or less? Right now I don't think they can, look at the bronco forums. Also 120 days is a long time, what if someone puts in an order and they lose their job in that period of time. Can the dealer ship cancel the order? Or do they keep the order and just not sell until the 120 days are up?
Maybe I missed it but what does this do with ADM? I don't see how this will fix that problem. It might make it worst since there are less cars on the lot. I also didn't hear that customer orders will have NO ADM.

These are all great points.
They only way that I can think it will work for the ADM is if I order a Lightning and it comes in and the dealer says, sorry it will be $30k over and I argue and eventually walk, my complaint to Ford will count this as a strike to the 75% because it was not sold to me. I have no idea if that is how it could work.

the recession will take care of the ADM. Though I would prefer Ford just send the Pinkertons around to bash sculls with bats like the good ol' days.
Ford C-level is full of it IMO and is either grossly misled as to their production pipeline capabilities are, or this is a back-handed way to starve inconsequential dealerships out of business.
