Interesting. Couple of things that have me wondering how true all of this information is (it's not that I don't believe YOU, I'm skeptical of the information you were given):
- August 26th is a Thursday. Seems like a very odd date to start production on the new model year. JULY 26th is the first day after the planned shutdown, and is a Monday. So I'm wondering if he really meant July 26th. This might be wishful thinking on my part.
- Your dealer is saying September/October for your build. I know that the trucks won't be built sequentially like my spreadsheet assumes, but even if it did, I'm already optimistically showing your truck in early September. So realistically, even my spreadsheet should be putting you in that September/October range. If the start of production is really on August 26th, there's no way in hell that you'd be getting your truck in September...even October is probably a stretch.
- Not sure who your dealer is, but I wonder what this chart is. My dealer appears to know far less about 2022 production than this forum does. Does your dealer have some secret insider-only information, or is he just doing what we're doing and making wild assumptions?
I'm obviously hoping that he's dead wrong on this. But I suspect that my rose-colored-glasses spreadsheet is also dead wrong.
Last comment. Every effing thing you listed as a "supply constraint" item is on my build.
