This is my status for a Challenger Hellcat: 32286836 - 9/9/2014 - FH773361 - 1/16/2015 - 4.3 months, been at "D" status nearly a month. Is it the A8 trans or the Laguna Leather holding up production? I can't get a straight answer from the dealer or SRT. So this afternoon I fired off a letter to Tim venting about communication from Dodge to the dealers and customers regarding status of their cars. Figured that would be the end of it, I vented and the email would be deleted.

About 3 hours later the phone rings, and the guy tells me he is Tim Kuniskis and he has some info regarding my car. Holy CRAP, not only did he read the email but he advised me the car should be D1 by Monday and built before the end of the month!

We talked at length about communication with the buyer and accurate information. For whats it worth he stated there is no shortage of any transmission or seats for cars with VIN's. He did say they are working through the satin hood issues and it probably would take a while longer to remedy that back log. If anything the success of the Hellcat has increase sales on the base models and Scat Pak that additional shifts have been added to keep up production with total demand.

We talked allocations, and he stated they have modified the allocation process slightly each month in an attempt to stop dealers from bogus orders and marking up $10,000+. He did state that if a Hellcat sits on a dealer lot for over 4 days unsold that that dealer would lose their next allotment. Hinted that there may be even more penalties the longer it sits on the lot.

Oh yea, he is totally aware of Hellcat.org and knows that we are a tight, well informed group! We talked for about 15 minutes, was a regular guy.

Maybe I'm being snowballed again, but his call made my day and restored some of my faith in Dodge. The proof will be in what I'm driving in about 45 days I guess!

If he reads the forum, he didn't say anything about taking Tammie's Hellcat back for bad behavior did he? Crap! I need to watch what I say. I keep saying that and then off I go being Innapropriate again! Lol

Personally, I think they should list dealers and their allocations and then if the dealer is a D-bag and tries to jack the price, off with their allocation! It would help people to know where they are and possibly how many orders that dealer has submitted. Simply an issue of transparency. I have to make sure my process at work is transparent to those I work for.

Are you kidding- he loves Tammie! We specifically talked about driving the car daily and taking it to shows like Tammie does and many of us will do. No better PR than a daily driver to help generate sales of base & mid level products.

Right? That's what I'm talking about! Lol. Wait till he hears about the popo giving me a free pass to smoke em! Sales are gonna skyrocket!

 

[630]

Did you just say, jack the price off, Tammie?

Whew! Well placed comma can make that very bad!

I get paid by results. Not intentions. There are too many with Von/Vins in one hand and nothing in the other. (See, mods, kept it nice). The issue is lack of transparency. just tell folks what the hells going on. The Truth will SET YOU FREE ! Yes, it's just that easy. I'll be impressed when he communicates that. Until then it's sloppy PR moves.

Good behavior! Proud

The "informants" put me in contact with Mr. Kuniskis. He is supposed to call me one of these days. Tammie, I've been in law enforcement for 20+ years, also did counter terrorism for the US Department of State and last but not least, I owned 4 pizzerias. You are my number one suspect. Just saying.

Whatever I'm suspected of, I have an alibi! Lol

And I know for sure that RS is not Tammie. I was hanging out with RS at the Washington Auto Show in DC while Tammie was doing burnouts.

Plus I'm one of a kind and DEFINITELY Not s dude!
