How does it make sense to pay an extra $100 just to be early in line for something so uncertain? I might be willing to pay a bit extra to be middle of the pack when the actual product is known, most of the bugs have been worked out, production is running smooth, and quality is consistent. Maybe that's just me.

I'm guessing so many people dropped out that they needed to open the reservations back up.
I'm pretty close myself. I don't care about the position in line so much as getting information earlier but so far everything get's reposted publicly so quick, the $100 isn't really getting you anything.

They could have at least sent out a T-shirt so we felt like we actually got something for the money.

Don't forget that $100 is NOT A DOWN PAYMENT. and NOT refundable once they announce the pre-order date (even if you don't wait till the pre-order date to cancel).

People need to read the damn terms and conditions.
What a bunch of crooks.

That's a bit more militant than my take on it, but as a business model it appears to suck, and I don't get it...

They have a rather small terms and conditions for you to read

https://www.ramrev.com/TermsandConditions.pdf

Only 5 pages.

I am copy and pasting the below, I did not type any of it.
Can't get much more clearer then that, then went went as far to capitalize the word "NOT" to make it clear.
They just want to get $100 from any sucker who wants to give their money away.

an eligible participant must pay One Hundred Dollars ($100) to 2 join the Program (“Join Fee”). Upon providing his/her valid credit card information, participant will be charged a one (1) time fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100) to join the Program. Accepted forms of payment include major label credit/debit cards (such as AMEX, Discover, Visa, Mastercard). Upon successful completion and verification of the registration information and payment of the Join Fee, Member will receive a place in line to be able to pre-order a Ram 1500 REV (“Offer Item”).

Member’s place in line to be able to pre-order a Ram 1500 REV is based on a first come, first served basis. Members will receive an e-mail communication (to the e-mail address provided upon registration) from Ram notifying them when early access to pre-order will open (this will occur approximately two [2] weeks prior to pre-ordering opening to the public).

Member’s participation in the Program is not a guarantee that Member will be able to order or purchase a Ram 1500 REV but only provides a place in line for a pre-order and does not guarantee a Ram 1500 REV will become available for purchase or that a vehicle will be delivered by any particular dealer.

Member’s Join Fee will NOT go toward the purchase of the Ram 1500 REV should participant decide to purchase the vehicle. Join Fees are refundable until the first notice that the Ram 1500 REV becomes available for early access pre-order communicated by Ram

"What a bunch of crooks" was your take on it. You typed that.

Charging $100 to be allowed to wait in line to then attempt to pre-order something?
How else would you explain that.
It's not a business model if you aren't selling anything... I have never heard of people paying to be allowed wait in a line.

 

[Rick3478]

Someone wrote code for the list, and if people pay to be on it, there is income from it. I think that qualifies as business. Probably legal, maybe not useful, no one twisting your arm. Wherever you go, there you are.

FYI this was the email text below... I agree seems silly but then for my music service website I'm doing I met with expert in crowdfunding and he said we'd first send out email that will take to a page and charge a $1 to get to our order subscription.. he said they have done testing and lower the amount the more people eat it up to wait in line lol...
