This is true. The brokers I spoke with usually only had 1 build slot at the highest % and then many were at MSRP. It's highly variable.
I spent over a month going back and forth with local dealers to get and it was not easy. The main reason I kept at it was I knew the '22 changeover was happening shortly, so I didn't see the point in getting a '21 without a massive discount, so I had time on my side. I've been burned a few times buying closeout cars without big discounts and getting hit at trade in with a technically 1 year older car.
No idea if I could replicate my discount again in the near term, the dealer closest to me would not move off MSRP and most others were at best 2-3% after a week of exchanging emails.
