Just over 2100 orders for the Mustang? Seems lowFYI, from Long McArthur.

Retail orders. They didn't say how many total stock orders there are.Just over 2100 orders for the Mustang? Seems low
Yes I suppose if dealers get their car people can see them , and likely sell more of f them , here’s hoping we get ours before summer is overIs the PP take rate from retail orders, or all orders? I guess what I'm saying is why can't Ford build out all the retail orders first, then whatever commodities are left would go to stock orders?
I'm surprised by the low take rate for the bronze package, but kinda excited, too, because it'll make my car more rare. Only 1% is crazy to me.
Good video. Very informative. I guess we find out tomorrow if we got build dates or not. Crossing my fingers, but I have the PP so I'm not 100% confident I'll get a build date. Here's hoping.....
The simple answer is the vast majority of purchases at the dealer are for stock vehicles (it's only within the past few years that more & more buyers have been requesting custom orders), and ultimately, the dealer is Ford's customer (not us, the buyers) since it's the dealer that moves the vehicle Ford builds. So yes, Ford as a result will prioritize dealer orders.Is the PP take rate from retail orders, or all orders?

Great info here.
Highlights:
2187 cars in the retail order bank.
41% of orders were optioned for black painted roof.
Ford planned 13%.
So we can only assume Ford planned on 5% of NP orders being a black car.
8% planned for NP vs 20% of current orders.
Bottom line good luck scoring NP as nothing there adds up.
Plan is to build 50% GT, 20% Vert.
20% were planned as PP vs 42% of orders. (Not looking good for PP)
Bronze package 5% vs 1% ordered.
It looks like everyone here should have their car built by the end of August barring the obvious shortages in package builds.
The fact that the order priority for retail is above any dealer stock would suggest that Ford will always prioritize sold orders rather than stock orders.The simple answer is the vast majority of purchases at the dealer are for stock vehicles (it's only within the past few years that more & more buyers have been requesting custom orders), and ultimately, the dealer is Ford's customer (not us, the buyers) since it's the dealer that moves the vehicle Ford builds.
