The original post of the vehicle is literally in this thread. You can go find it. And by the way, it's not the only one. There are several build emails going out with multiple constrained parts to folks that reserved OVER A YEAR after reservation banks opened. And that's to say nothing of the fact that they were ordered after the March deadline for a MY21. This isn't even a one off fluke thing.
I would assume the dealer allocation model is to make sure that smaller dealerships can still stay in business or to push business to them to keep them in business. It’s been stated numerous times that dealer allocation plays a part in when they are built and people are still shocked when it affects production. Why do you think big dealerships are offering discounts, it boosts their allocations sure but a lot of people on that list are going to be waiting longer because there are so many.
Look I get Ford has to keep the production line moving, it doesn't bother me in the least that folks with Base packages and Big bends and whatnot are going to skip the line, good for them. But we shouldn't be using constrained parts on people's builds that ordered after the deadline, and certainly not multiple constrained parts. At that point you have to rethink your dealer allocation model, and get vehicles in the hands of your eager customers that have been standing by since day or week or month 1, that have $1100 or more of deposits invested, and clinging to vehicles that are falling apart. This is ridiculous.
