I'm a dealer. They are going to fill the reservations that were converted to legit orders. They have already stated demand exceeds production capability for the first year. Any of the reservations that are not converted to a legit retail order will move someone else up in que, not be a "stock" unit on that dealer's lot.Completely false. It specifically refers to MY2021 allocations, which are all for reservations. If you don’t want to believe it, then don’t; but Ford laid it out to dealers in very straightforward fashion, and for some reason people don’t want to believe that there has been any change. It is a big change to how they were initially doing it, and will effect a lot of consumers and dealers....with consumers at big dealers, and big dealers themselves, being at an advantage.
There are huge penalties for any dealer that tries to game the system on this first run. I'm not going to tell you what but I'm sure guys with high reservations are going to be laser focused on making sure they are converted.
Bottom line is they won't know how they are going to do it until orders start hitting the system. You will then get an estimated build date and at some point the dealer will be notified when its scheduled and issued a VIN.
Ford wants these things trickling out all over the country at nearly the same time but they have to figure out how to do that so the plant is running as efficiently as possible. Can your order get bumped up? Maybe, but you will probably have to personally know someone at Ford corporate or be "special" in the eyes of society.
