UPDATE: Dealer just got back to me with a Sold Order Certification sheet. Shows the order was placed and accepted on 4/26/2022, and the 6-digit number I was given is the SO number (I assume this is Sold Order Number). I guess it is just a waiting game to hear from SoA with a VON-- I was told again that they will not get a VON until the dealer has been allocated the vehicle.
I have the same exact scenario. I ordered on 1/6/22 and the only thing I got was a 6 digit SO#. I was also suspicious that I got screwed, but my brother ordered one on the same day, and his car came in a week ago! There was no warning, or communication. Just one day "hey, guess what, your car is here!"
The way they explained it to me (and I suspect that you are in a similar situation) is that most dealers go straight to SOA for the order process, but the dealer I chose, as well as many others, use a distributor, or something like that. In other words, they have nothing to do with SOA during the order process. Before I realized that, I called SOA to look for my order, and they had nothing, so I freaked out a little bit, until the salesman explained it to me.
At this point, I'm wondering if I will even get a 2022 or not? I may wind up with a 2023 if too much time goes by. Does anyone know what date the factory decides to change the year of the vehicle?
