There is a plan to build "X" units, that number is then divided among the dealers and they are told how many of each model to expect per year. Some get 1, others 2-3, larger dealers a few more. Dealers placing more requests wont make the factory build more. So at this point in 2022 model year virtually every planned unit has been allocated and all dealers are capped out as they reached there plan number. It all balances out and there is no way to get "more".

From what I've watched, once the cars are scheduled to be built and the allocation is given, it takes about 8 weeks for it to reach vancouver port. Then another 2-6 weeks depending how backed up the port is and what province you are in.

I am 98% sure this is the last month 22 models will be scheduled for build and allocated. I think next month we will see the first 23 allocations, which best case would then arrive in August. And then there will be new sale plan numbers for 23.

If you've ordered from a high volume dealer theres a better chance they get priority for the first allocations. Often the first vehicles are only allocated as stock to the larger dealers, even though there are open sold requests. There is picking and choose, and a bit of favourite playing.

My own ordered that was entered the first day possible, august 2021, was passed over 3 cycles before being filled. I didnt get the car until last week. Larger dealers got Red Prem MT for stock before my order was filled. Also the 23 special edition coming out will effect things.

Realistically, if your order was not filled during the recent allocations, you're looking at the car arriving anywhere from August to May.

If I recall correctly there were around 1,500 first gen cars sold in Canada the first year. I am guessing that we are actually pretty close to that number for this gen. It would appear that Canada is actually having an easier time getting them than the US market. Can't see there being many 22 allocations left at this point.

By the way you have done an outstanding job in keeping the Canadians updated!
