There are probably at least 5k Broncos that are mannequins, review trucks, Off Rodeo trucks etc. which would bring the number down to 13k or so, with 10k built last month I don’t think 13k in limbo between shipping, dirt mountain, and airbag recall is that far fetchedWondering the same thing. Guessing Dirt Mountain accounts for some of it, but there aren’t 18k vehicles there.
Even with shipping issues, it seems odd that 41% of total production has not been sold yet. But I know nothing about what post-production to ready-for-sale times should look like in the auto industry.
I guess if you write off all of November production as still in transit, that brings us down to 8k. Maybe another thousand or so still at DM is 7k, but that number could be higher so maybe the truly unaccounted for number is lower than 7k.
Still though, that’s a lot for a vehicle that is unobtanium. Could be that consumers are becoming more price sensitive to lot Broncos being offered at high markups and they’re sitting, but again just speculation.
