Default First Consensus in September

I've had my order in since May and am still sitting at status code 1100. I am #2 of 3 allocations at my small dealership, and was not picked up in today's consensus. Very frustrating!! When is the next consensus in September, and will it be larger than the very small one today?

Consensus cycles normally start every 2 weeks (although for the startup they have skipped many). So, next consensus should be September 5.

I don't know about the size.

If your dealer has only 3 allocations then those three have to be spread out over the 6-9 month period covering the first round of allocations. The person who is #1 at your dealer will probably get his car built very quickly(once they start producing), but the person who is #2(you) at your dealer will mostly get his car built 3-4 months after production in started and the person that is #3 will get his car built some 6-9 months from now.

The dealer with 3 allocations does not get his 3 cars built at one time while every one else waits.

That's why it's better to be #50 at a dealer with 250 allocations than #2 at a dealer with 3 allocations.

Not necessarily. My dealer has allocations for 3 coupes and 1 vert. I'm #1 and last I checked I was at 3000. The customer who is #2 was in the second consensus and is also at 3000.
