Walk-in vs reservation

[Scohin]

Oh, I totally get the frustration of getting skipped over and being left in the dark. I believe that has more to do with individual dealerships than anything. Thinking that having multiple orders doesn't affect anyone is short-sighted for reasons previously pointed out. You'd have to think Ford plans out what they'll need in the future based on orders they have placed, no? So if you have multiple orders for specific vehicles it would have to bog things down for others IMO.

Ford doesn't plan based on their orders, they plan on what they have available. It's Agile manufacturing that Toyota created. It actually would bog things down if they based off of orders. They will only plan to build what they have available, they don't care about reservations.

yet people are having multiple vehicles built, because of multiple orders, with no intentions of buying both. The parts Ford HAD available are now gone. The Vehicle that is unwanted from the Customer is now what you see on the lot $20k over MSRP lol doesn't change the fact that having multiple orders is selfish and shouldn't be happening.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Are you paying attention @Ford Motor Company?! Temporarily stop taking new Bronco orders until you can clear the backlog!

I do have a reservation, but after the last production pull I was wondering the difference between walk in vs reservation. Is walk-ins put behind reservations and if the dealer can’t match the available options to their reservations it goes to walk in orders? Or are walk-ins on a separate list? Or is this whole thing a dumpster fire and no one really knows the greater Ford master plan?

Thinking that maybe this comes down to all the new orders are taking $500 deposits at the dealer. Yes?

It's all a free market, the dealer buys it and makes money off the ADM
Like I said long as they're not doing that to active reservation orders I've no problem.
