Wasn't our mannequin. He got one personally for size of our store.

My dealer's FE has been produced for over 3 weeks and it still hasn't left yet. If you just figured it would leave this week, it could easily be close to 2 months after it rolled off before it would have gotten here.

No problem. My dealer met with Farley today at lunch. He's supposed to be getting some insight on the '22 MY allocation formula as well. If I hear anything of significance, I'll pass it along. I personally don't think dealers are going to have their allocation numbers fulfilled for '21 MY...

My final allocation was 131. I converted 173 reservations out of 250 reservations I had dated prior to Sept 19th. I also took a different approach than other dealers and I cancelled reservation holders prior to Sept 19th after my 5th attempt to call or email them with no response. So factoring...

No problem. Do you want reservation numbers from July 13-Sept 19th? Or do you want total reservation numbers compared to allocation? Happy to share mine.

It's not hard to do the math, and the answer to the math is the actual explanation. If a dealer has an allocation of 200, and 1000 reservations, compared to a dealer that has 200 allocations and 450 reservations, then it's not rocket science on which customer in each pool has the best chance of...

I've had 25 get scheduled so far.

FWIW, all the Broncos that were on my preview all week have fallen off. They never changed to scheduled to week status, and they've all gone back to unscheduled-clean on their current status. The only one that got scheduled was the one VIP that was in the original mix. So that would hold true...

FWIW, I had dozens of customers ask me about pricing they had seen on this forum. I told them I fully understood why small dealers were doing what they were doing, and that I was perfectly Ok with them transferring the reservation if they felt like price was the most deciding factor for them. I...

Well, he stated the dealer has basically maintained its stance on pricing, not willing to match discounts seen from dealers here. If that makes them shady, because OP made a deal, was OK with pricing, said pricing hasn't changed, then I don't know what to say. I guess every dealer would be shady...

Personally, it was your responsibility to secure your pricing and deal before the order was finalized. Going back on that fact and threatening the dealer is not something I would do. I'm simply not a fan of people threatening things on social media and the whole cancel culture thing.

Ford told us the majority of dealers lost allocation from their original estimate to their final number. Not because of the conversion formula so much as they knew they had to reduce the number they thought they could actually produce. And that is actually coming true now with the shortages...

retailed

I think we had north of 150 Bronco reservations from the first night into the first full day. I do see a lot of my Bronco customers also reserved a Lightning. I recognize a lot of the same people.

I saw this morning they announced they had 20k Lightning reservations already. We have over 50 already since last night. I'm very shocked at the number.

No idea. I'd say most dealers didn't get any VIP orders dropped in their bucket.

No. They were added allocation. They told us this specifically.

My preview today is different than yesterday. Two of mine dropped off completely. The others are all the same as yesterday.

They are different, and no we don't know the total number of either. We know what each store got, but not the totality.
