So. if a dealer knowingly did not have an allocation, the customer sits and waits and may never be fulfilled for 2020 MY. That is not being up front with the customer. I hope those non allocated orders do not get rolled in front of people who were on the list and have an allocation for 2021 MY.

Nobody has an allocation for 2021 MY yet. Dealers have not been notified of the their 2021 allocations. How a dealer handles 2020 orders not built is up to the dealership, but going by deposit date seems to be the most common and most reasonable approach. Those that committed first get the first allocations.
Remember, 2020 allocations were greatly cutback. Many orders at 1100 would have gotten an allocation if not for the strike and COVID-19.

1100 orders are, by definition, non allocated orders. If they had an allocation they would have gone to 3000. There is really no way to determine what dealers had 2020 orders entered that exceeded their 2020 allocation guidance. I know the largest dealer stopped accepting orders once they reached their max. I suspect there are some small dealers that accepted orders in excess of their expected allocations, but in the overall scheme of thins probably not a significant number. I'd advise anyone seeking a 2021 MY ask their dealer some frank questions about their 2020 order pool and how they plan to handle 2020 orders that do not get built (1100 or 3000+ status codes). If your dealer will not answer these questions, that is a red flag.

Yes, I agree that those who had an allocation and stayed at 1100 hundred (Covid-19/Strike) should go first for 2021 MY. Then, those who were committed for 2021 MY go next. I just don't want to see the non allocated orders to roll in front of the committed list for 2021 MY. Interesting to see what dealers will do?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Most dealers (based on information posted on this forum) are going to process 2021 orders based on the date they received the deposit. That makes the most sense to me also. Those that committed first and through no fault of their own did not get a 2020 should be in front of those that committed later.
