Depending on their volumes and past allocation amounts, they may actually be doing you a favor.
I still highly recommend you continue shopping though, just so you can get a feel of the market and not just take my word above. However when I did my ED this past year I was deeply connected with two GMs at two dealers - one wouldn't even do ED, the other did at ED MSRP. I searched far and wide at other dealers and I couldn't find many that would even do ED for the reasons I said above, and the ones that would, wouldn't budge from US MSRP.
Granted, the market changes and this is just one anecdotal example, but don't expect to get the US delivery discounts some others are saying are available here for ED if you are in the US. ED for Canada may be different.

Thank you for the insight sir!
I am seeing inventory really climb a lot on these cars, and were one year away from the end of the m2c, so I have some hope... but if the other dealerships I am reaching out to don’t budge, I probably end up doing the ED MSRP deal. :/
