Yep, exactly. Though when a car's sitting at the pier, there's not much the dealership can do about it. But when a customer has signed up to pay more and wait longer for a special paint, then clearly they're a good target for exploiting some additional ADM.

I get that DG and a couple others aren't fully "individual" (lower price and threshold for approval), but I'm not sure what the difference is from a manufacturing/assembly line perspective.
