2022 Orders

I was just looking at my dealer web site and they now are offering custom ordering with express. I have no idea what that all means but if dealers can't place orders then why would they be now offering custom ordering?

From that website:
"They build it just like normal and ship it to us, typically in half the time as orders for inventory!"

That is ambiguous as f***. All this is, is a ploy to charge more to someone, where they will expect to get the car quicker. But what is quicker? They'll just end up telling you "inventory is currently taking 20 weeks. Look, we're going to get your truck in 12 weeks" or some crap like that. When in actual fact, that's how long a normal order is taking.

I'm almost certain there is absolutely no way the factory can prioritize orders to the front of the line. Makes no sense.

First one: "...at the front of the line...that's behind that other line, which comes after this other line here, which is currently short on the parts for the options you ordered."

Second one: "...has been given priority status!...but our lot inventory gets super duper ULTRA MEGA priority status so, you're SOL".

lol exactly. So what happens when EVERY dealer becomes "priority/VIP/expedited? Every dealer is front of the line? lol

We need to remember that ultimately, these are all sales people running these dealerships. They would sell their mother to make another couple hundred $$$. All it is, is a marketing ploy and way to upcharge for something they have no control over. I work with a bunch of sales people in a totally different industry, and some of the things they create to drain more dollars out of customers is incredible.

I would be interested if someone reached out as a "potential customer" and requested the timeframes from them on a custom VIP expedited priority front-of-line A1 no delay customer order vs an inventory order.
 
Remember that it IS true that in the past sold orders were given priority. Their website has probably said that for years.

Nope the two dealers never had that on their web site before. It's new. It maybe a way for them to get people into the dealer to order vehicles but hell do they all really get priority? I mean really how?

They don't. Its smoke and mirrors and sales tactics. FCA probably still says sold orders get priority and they very well may....when parts allow and all orders are equal.
 
BREAKING NEWS:

Coming to you from Sterling Heights, Michigan, a live look at SHAP:

It took me hitting up Ram Chat twice today and our boy/girl(??) Swaji Bajarat finally sent me this:

Thank you so much for holding. I am showing that your vehicle has been built and is pending installation of additional equipment. This is a necessary step when additional features or optional equipment packages are added to the vehicle. Currently no Dealer ETA has been provided.

I'm wondering if the Mopar Paint Protection Film or the Tonneau Cover are the "additional equipment".
