I agree. Something is not adding up; perhaps we're missing some additional details? e.g. did you already agree to add the (highly profitable) extended warranty, or wheel/tire insurance, or some other after-market customizations? Did you agree on a trade-in price? Is it really $0 in dealer fees? My understanding is most dealers have some kind of fee, whether a prep fee, doc fee, MA CO, etc.

335 allocations are scarce. Why sell an allocation at invoice when they could easily sell it for $500-$1,000 over invoice, or trade it to another dealer for a car that will sell for a similar amount?

Puzzling! All I know is if there's really no catch, I want to know the dealer (once you've ordered) so that I can see about placing my order there!
