The model will change when the “people” choose not to buy at ridiculous prices. You and I are good, we both refuse to buy a truck over MSRP, and I’ll go a step further and say I refuse to buy one “AT” MSRP: Below invoice or bust!!
However, there are lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of people who are willing to shell out 20k over just so they can be the first ones with a specific vehicle. This isn’t a new “dealership model”, or even “Raptor” model. The winners in the situation are not the people driving their Gen 3 to the mall before their neighbors, it’s the dealerships.
You know how this works, you don’t need a lesson from me, but if everyone refuses to buy at 20k over, they will no longer sell at 20k over. In fact, we can also blame a platform such as this forum for driving the prices as well.
Simple economics….
