If we use ~600 as total US allocation through the end of the year, a likely distribution scenario could be:

March-April: <50
May: 75
June: 75
July: 75
August:75
Sept:75
Oct:75
Nov: 75
Dec: 50

So for any one dealer to get 6 out of 75 for the month, it just seems a bit of a stretch. I do hope you are successful!



Yep.

A dealer rep I spoke with three weeks ago said 56 cars have been sold. I think your numbers look pretty good. I can't see many dealers getting 6 for the year... let alone in a couple of months... with roughly 350 dealers around the country, and each getting one car, that means the next 250 get spread pretty thin... Even if only 50 of the 350 are "power dealers"... then that would mean that each of those 50 would get 5 additional cars...
