We'll know come July when the Gear Up card debuts, but I suspect it will be another generic promo where you can get Yeti mugs, Foster Grant sunglasses, tactical flashlights and other stuff you don't need or already have.
My dealer has an unlimited oil changes for $99/yr. I typically do 5-6 a year so I'll probably sign up once my FP points are used up.
But haven’t we’ve seen saying this for the past 20 years or so?
Im guessing the impact is lower than what we think it is. Im guessing that blowing out inventory and cutting back on production will help out Ford for the rest of this year.
You would think that they'd go out of their way to tout that "Gear Up" points can still be used at dealerships/service depts if that were true.
Ultimately, I don't have a horse in this race either way.

who would of thought that selling a 70K EV van would be problematic?!
with that said, anyone have any idea how Amazon is making out with their rivian vans? It seems like they had a ton in my area, then they disappeared for 6-8 months and I finally saw one a few weeks ago in my area.
You guys are making a lot of assumptions about the program with zero data.
This looks like a simple vendor change. Either FNBO wanted out or Ford wasn’t happy with them or they got a better deal with Gear Up. No reason to think you’ll lose options with Gear Up at this point.
Also keep in mind some of those same people who are angry and vocal about Tesla are nothing more then people who want everything to be about them-they go from claiming to savings the environment or whatever to putting stickers on their cars saying they bought it be Elon went crazy in their eyes. All because of how they want to be perceived
