This information will also be included in my weekly newsletter under the topic, Kens Newsletters.

Weekly Constraint/Production News - UPDATED

Constraints are distributed based on Available Days’ Supply (ADS), Controlled Method or Percent of Allocation (POA). Dealers can use the weekly constraint wire to see the basic availability of an option. The percentages on the weekly constraint wire are estimated based on the national retail number of the constrained option divided by the amount of retail orders being allocated for the week.

When is GM expected to start building 80U (Monterey Red)?

How does the priority list work? In other words, does an order from a specific buyer have priority over a dealership that is simply trying to add to their inventory if the order is received the same day?
