it just does not smell right.
how can a paper pusher know something different then the factory scheduler.
the rep could be correct but...............if it is good for you
this seems in line with what
@HAG1417 Was saying, theres info the reps have they couldnt previously divulge, maybe now they are changing because im sure they are seeing a LOT of cancellations and customers going elsewhere
again the info seems real in that the rep is IN charge of effectively all of his districts orders, they NEED some way of auditing their orders to make sure that when an order is placed its not overlooked, there's no way ram has tens of millions of dollars in a manufacturing software that can only plan a build two weeks out, as soon as you hit D status, algorithms go hard to work to determine a approximate build schedule in line with all of the other factors, they 100% have generalized timelines on every vin issued, obviously subject to changing just as external factors(parts availability) do.
Maybe now they decided dealers should have this info to dissuade buyers from cancelling due to effectively being ignored
