I tried to work with my dealer to grab an ST with the 360 camera delete from a different nearby dealership... earlier he had said they sometimes can swap with other dealerships so I wanted him to pursue it. I knew it was a complicated ask, but I wanted to honor our arrangement and try to find a way to give them the sale. His reply was "Feel free to deal on the one at the other dealership, but we have no say in it. It's their unit and they're not going to trade it to us. It doesn't work that way. Do what's best for you."
So I did. I went and bought it. I didn't love his tone and frankly, he hasn't been helpful in any way over this 6 month waiting period. The other dealership was more than happy to poach my business and gave me a very good trade in allowance. For those interested, the 360 delete means no front camera, and no camera button on the dash. So rear view camera only. Interestingly, the front camera and side mirror cameras ARE installed. The GM said he didn't believe Ford ever intended to come around later and offer to install the 360 camera system on these models, which I already assumed given the $650 credit, though it does seem perfectly possible from a technical/mechanical standpoint for a Ford Tech to hook it all up later.
Glad it's all over. This whole experience has taken a lot of the joy out of buying this car, but I am still super excited
