For a ‘24 still on the lot, you should be able to do MUCH better. See my comment from a few days ago:

I feel like he would have agreed to 12% had I been serious about buying that day.
If you want to custom order a 2025, I would suggest starting with broker pricing as the baseline for negotiation with the dealer. Pricing spreadsheets from multiple brokers are available here, which you can find with a quick search. All are in the range of 8-9%. Email the dealer and offer them that you have a configuration ready and that if they can match or exceed broker discounts, you will order through them today. That’s what I did.
Edited to add: Don’t reward dealers who play games. I walked out of a dealer on principle when he refused to take off a $600 dummy fee. Imagine losing a $100k+ sale over $600.
