Highly doubt these are made to order. If they order these in batches. How long are you willing to wait before they place another order and to put in a special request for one without the rubber pad.
Are you dense. Have you not read on this forum the multiple people putting down payments just to get on a wait list for the Supra. Small fraction actually drive off same day they call in about one.
No one is walking in putting a down payment and driving off with a supra same day.
Why ask for people's opinions if you have a rebuttal for everything.
Couple have had engines replaced. Piston rings replacement, irregular service schedule can hint to oil issues.
Did you put a down payment for your supra? It's no different. Shows commitment. Being a new product they don't want to over produce initial batch and be stuck with x amount if not sold. Collecting down payment guarantees the amount they can sell and gauge how many to produce.
