I recently picked up my truck and while a minor issue, I was surprised to hear the $100 deposit we made 18 months ago was really a reservation fee and we wouldn’t get it back. We’re you all told the same thing?

Funny you mention it. Elon minimizing the $99 deposit on the Cybertruck made me think about the $100 deposit just a few minutes ago. I picked my truck up a month ago. They didn’t mention the $100 during the sale and I forgot all about it.

How is this surprising? It was a fee to get your place in line. You had several chances to cancel and get the $100 back, but once everything is confirmed you are locked in.

I thought I remembered that the $100 came off the top of the truck but I'd have to find all my paperwork.

Surprising as I was thinking of it as a deposit on the order. I had to put down 15k for a deposit on the Ferrari 296gts but I get that back or it goes against price of car. Tesla had the 2500 deposit when you ordered but again you got that back. No big deal just curious.

My $100 was a payment line item in the purchase agreement of the truck deducted from what I owed the dealer for the purchase of it.

FWIW the $100 you put down on a Bronco or Lightning reservation comes off the top of your payment, too.
