word - thx.Meaning any feedback from all of you
Seems like they did well. I am now just wondering when. I was number 2 in their allocation, I am probably lower now with the priority builds. I will post if I hear anything.Official Update from Brewster:

Well you got most of us all pegged wrong, because we don't know shit!Any theories on how Ford sets up the line(s)? I would assume they'd do the highest margin products w/ the most amount of vehicles to be built first - total margin $'s per line run. I'd assume that would be FE, WT, BL w/ more packages etc (LUX, SAS, etc.) - until you hit commodity constraints etc.
To be clear, I'm just a guy typing on a forum during a zoom call. I assume some of you actually know how this stuff works.

[40 allocations, 7 slotted for first build cycle]
Hmm, guess I was a little optimistic...I read that as 17% of allocations, so I guess somewhere between 8 and 13. Also, 17% of allocations makes sense because there are only 6 months to build '21's (17*6=102).
30% of 157 is 47, 17% of 47 is 8
40% of 197 is 78, 17% of 78 is 13
I just want to reiterate, I'm in the 'we don't know shit' group. Please take this into account when reading my posts!Well you got most of us all pegged wrong, because we don't know shit!
Most everything out there is speculation. It was stated awhile back that a BB, 2.3l soft top, was the most likely to be built (first??? who knows). I've also seen rumors that the Squatch constraint may or may not have to do with CAFE requirements (that right there pushes out less FE, WT & Squatch builds).
So just based on the BB build being the "possible" leader in all this (and I don't think the take was all that big on BB's), that throws the profit margin theory out of the water.
So basically, yeah we don't know shit, sorry.
