Now that i think about it
Why wouldn't they know the estimated time?
Ford knows what dealers have what orders, and the basic throughput for each dealer based on the allocation they would have granted them
Good point,
Again makes me wonder if ford will allocate all orders (as of feb) at once, or in sets, and even if in sets the later reservations holders could still get "estimates"
Speculation warning
if it were only 2 dealers in the universe.
and there were 1000 reservations converted to orders
and both dealers got 500 reservations converted to orders
and ford allocates 750 broncos total (production limits maybe)
450 to dealer a
300 to dealer b
dealer a is able to go...
My interpretation:
If there are 150k reservations
say 100k convert to orders
divvy up between 3000 dealers (weighted)
so say dealer A) gets 500 reservations, is High Volume, and in jeep market
they get a higher "score" than dealer b with 500 reservations but low volume
how those scores are...
Can you comment on how often allocation is updated and/or distributed
Week by week?
Once a Month
One time in february after ford gets all the initial orders
I have to ask, why are we so intent on calling this pot stirring? Info is info. Has the "pot stirring" info been inaccurate? do we have reason to believe it is wrong?
I recall my first posts here and everyone basically shat on the info I shared until they realized it was legitimate. We...
Again i don't think anyone is saying they won't fulfill the orders or that they would start on dealer stock. It's a matter of when and what order they will fulfill the orders. and if bigger dealers are going to fulfill more orders out of band because of this possible allocation scheme. If...
What previous statement has implied this, I haven't interpreted anything I found to suggest this?
I understood the info presented to suggest that the allotment would still be for reservation holders, just maybe other large volume dealers
I think there may be some legal ramifications for a dealer sharing too much info. Even granger has had posts taken down at request from ford if i am not mistaken
I don't think anyone has said that they would be ditching orders. It's this type of confusion this post was trying to resolve. I believe the point was some orders placed at smaller dealerships could take longer than other later orders at bigger dealerships based on the "allocation process" for...
100%,
But you have to admit sifting through 72 pages of comments, is a bit tedious. The hopes of this post was to collect the information we have been given. If there are details stating something contrary I do want to include them in the summary.
It's important to quote or link the source so...
