What part of 'dealer allocation' do you not understand?No anger at you at all. Ford’s BS about reservation timestamp matters is the problem. Broncos are given out thru a dealer lottery vs what expectation was set early in the process.
You and me both.I got the off roadeo email again this morning does that count?
Getting real tired of seeing that in my inbox every Thursday
I misunderstood dealer allocation as distributing Broncos across dealers vs Ford’s definition of lottery. The 2 dealers in my area are 0/42 and 2/30 on delivery/allocation. Meanwhile granger is close to half of their allocations as an example.What part of 'dealer allocation' do you not understand?
The part about intelligent dealership selection! lolWhat part of 'dealer allocation' do you not understand?
Timestamp, then commodity constraints, then dealer allocation is the order which orders are pulled. These people that reserved in July and August of this year clearly ordered a vehicle with zero constraints at a dealer that had no buildable models that were in front of them. Meanwhile, everyone and their mother ordered at Granger for example and probably have 700 people in front of them.I misunderstood dealer allocation as distributing Broncos across dealers vs Ford’s definition of lottery.

I am not thrilled, but I am of the mindset that I would rather get what I want later than what I don't want sooner. But I feel your pain.Did anybody else read this and absolutely lose their fucking mind? Am I the only one?
I can’t agree more! Congrats to anyone that got their golden ticket but nobody with a reservation this year should jump those of us that reserved the first month we could. I understand there are many factors involved in scheduling but seeing this has me joining you in saying fuck you Ford.
Nice! We got the same week!Build Week 11/01/2021
Bullshit. Both dealerships I referenced have builds not constrained with earlier time stamps than vin emails I’ve seen on this site. I’ve seen my exact build show up here with a later timestamp than mine.Timestamp, then commodity constraints, then dealer allocation is the order which orders are pulled.

To be clear, dealerships in the year 2021 are outrageous. COVID solidified this with thousands of people buying cars over the internet with the vehicle being delivered to their doorstep without the customer ever setting foot in a dealer. The tesla model is the future, but the lobbyists will never let this happen. I want to test drive a 'demo' at a dealer, service at my dealer, but purchase from Ford. I'm sick of walking into dealers in my area and knowing more than they do. It's disgusting.
