So that's the issue I ran into. Learned a life lesson for me and funny story. I got inpatient and impulsive with the MYLR order.
Started looking at the BMW i4. Love the looks, and range is comparable, everyone online saying how great quality is so started looking online, and OMG all these BMW dealer sites have a *sugar* ton of inventory. With the packages I want, and colors that I like. Well like I said I got impulsive, and knowing the electric car market out there I figured no sense in waiting. Found the car I like online, for the price I can swallow, all in all the BMW of San Francisco online website showed me 65k out the door. Fully loaded i4. So at 2 am called up Navy Fed to finance my loan. Have cash at hand, figured I'd loan a bit for credit and pay off quickly. Got approved, few minutes later. Wasn't even able sleep that night. 7 am sharp, start calling up the stealership, need to know availability, and make sure what I want doesn't drive off the lot before I get there. 3 hr drive for me. At 7:30am they answer, and I get an audible laugh from the guy. He explained, apparently all those cars online are not available inventory, even though it says they are. Those are the orders of people who came in 8 months ago. At the time of me calling they had a base model tester they were willing to part with, for 10k nonnegotiable markup. So that would of put me at 70k. Hell no I am not paying that for base model. The guy politely laughed at me and hung up the phone. So I call BMW Sacramento. It's in my backyard, figured I'd order and and if it's 6-8 months wait time for BMW and a Tesla I'll wait for one or the other.
So I got to BMW Sacramento, same deal about the orders, online saying they have inventory, the lot is barren. So I talk to the guy about ordering me an i4 with 8 months wait time. Well when I start the ordering process, the guy explains to me, BMW factory no longer allows 2/3 of their option packages. So in essence it'll be almost base unless I wanna overpay for their wheels, and other gimmicky *sugar*. Not even adaptive cruise. On a car thats 65-70k before stealership markups. At this point I am done with the guy and I am sure I am not gonna order anything, but I ask him about the mark up when ordering from factory. Out of sheer curiosity wanted to see if they'd honor MRSP. Well his initial markup was 12k, I laughed and didn't say anything so he decided to go and "talk to their manager about that". He comes back 30 seconds later and says because he is such nice guy, he was able to convince the manager they'll go 8k over MSRP. That's a huge drop of 4k, which is super rare for them. I took his card and was walking out the door, the manager comes out and says just now they are willing to part with their tester. Base i4 with upgraded wheels, the MSRP 62k and they want 15k over. I wasn't gonna pay that, but **** it at least I'll go see the car maybe test drive. So I do first walk around with the wife, open the door, didn't even get in the car and salesman comes up and says that's it's actually been just sold. I guess the manager approached another client and the lady immediately said yes.
So I calmed down with my impulses, still driving an SUV from Reno to Sacramento twice a week. 1k in fuel expenses per month waiting for a Tesla. So yeah I am pissy about Tesla EDD bulshit, but at least they aren't asking bunch money on top of MSRP for cars that is it outoptioned by a Camry.
