Haha! It doesn’t, that’s the problem! As I’m in the West, my morning is much later than theirs so I’ll stick to a morning look and a nighty-night look and leave it at that.

Forgive me if this has been covered before, as it surely has, but how often are build sheets populated. As in, do they generate at midnight for everything done since the midnight prior, or once at the end of every shift, or are they populated individually? I’m sure I’m not the only one that...

I don’t j ow about more I types of information, but maybe a different chart style? Or, despite it being a less attractive option, just moving to a spreadsheet look. Would be longer, but the current chart is untenable and will only get worse with more multicolor dots getting filled in.

Because that option doesn’t exist any more. Not sure when your order was made vs. accepted (might have been right on the bubble of the change) but this may be some evidence that orders made before the option deletion are getting changed.

The lack of California (so far, in this small sample size) is disturbing.Though probably only to this CA ordered :-(

Interesting. My order was accepted 7/30 and my VIN is 7000 higher than yours.

I’m not sure what there is to not understand. It’s a production line, there are always trucks going through the line. A truck leaves your station, the next one comes in. That one came through the person before you, and so in. That’s how a production line works. It’s not like 500 trusts are all...

Fair. But that’s the dealers vs. the manufacturer who are not one in the same. Their motivations are not always in alignment nor do they want to necessarily be public about crossing/correcting each other. It’s a symbiotic relationship while both parties have very different obligations to what is...

I work on the home building industry. I know down to the day how long it takes to build every plan type and elevation we sell. But there is a damn good reason that at contract we give a 3 month window of when the house may close escrow, then give the specific date about 45 days in advance. Stuff...

Accurate.

To play devils advocate, it’s fair to think that their terms are different than ours. The example of “shipped” has already come up. Their definition of “stated production” may mean they started building the schedule two weeks ago. A schedule which may not call for physical piece in piece...

I like it better when you only post good news.

On another note, I just used the build sheet site with a VIN I pulled from a local dealer truck, and oh my gosh, that thing is detailed! I guess I should have assumed that by the name of it, but I was impressed with out each detail of the truck is broken out and listed. 10 pages! Even more...

You ask, "tell me what you see" and then call it confirmation bias when we do? Now, I completely agree that the numbers you have are only as good as the people who gave them to you, as those are the only people who decided to sign up to some forum to talk about the process, etc. but we gotta...

TRX makes sense as they are eye catching and the showpiece for RAM. Limiteds are the most profitable (I'm assuming) so those make an understandable second place. Everything else, with options making everything equal, then fill in the gaps. I would actually think the trucks with the fewest...

And dealers have proven to be a wealth of reliable information so far... 😏😏 I'll still wait to see what the build sheets say.

Which one of us is going to volunteer to sit outside the factory 24hrs a day, beginning immediately, to relay the comings and goings of the workers back to the group? We need to embed someone into the line like a mob snitch. Only in this case, instead of stitches, this snitch will win a cold air...

Ouch. Low blow!

So assuming the factory is coming back online Tuesday, the shift postings/hours for the week starting Tuesday would have been up by now, right? Any clues yet?

Anyone listen to the latest episode of the TFL Truck “TFL talkin’ trucks” podcast? It was about the Ford Raptor but had an interview in the middle of the episode with the head of Ram. No huge news but they did touch on their move towards intentionally smaller dealer allocations/lot stock in...
