I was texted from my Doo source, that production at Doo is right on point. . That appears to have changed slightly: Stories about an international shortage of semiconductor chips have been flooding the airwaves in the past month, as a supply-vs.-demand push and pull has affected everything from the automotive industry and smart phones to personal computers and household appliances. And, yes, powersports including snowmobiles are affected as well. In a story on Yahoo Finance Canada, the president and CEO of BRP – maker of Ski-Doo, Sea-Doo, Can-Am and more – admitted the challenge last week. At the same time, his words were intended to sooth concerns. Jose Boisjoli said BRP is continuing to manufacture Ski-Doos and Sea-Doos at the company headquarters in Valcourt, Quebec, but said some of the vehicles are assembled without a key component or two, and then stored in the storage yard while they await the last few parts. https://snowgoer.com/latest-news/ski-doo-affected-by-chip-shortage-but-itll-honor-every-order/29502/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning the assembly line is moving. But I agree, like everything in the world, covid has screwed just about everything, other than the ones at the top of course. Again, I'm thankful I have a 2 beauty's in the garage still.. We will still manage quite nicely if our 2 '22's 900 T R's do not show up...

I sold my Vector to my nephew, who is buying it as a 2nd machine for his family; using it next season is no issue, so I too am not sweating delivery. If my knee replacement slides into November, I may not be able to ride until Feb anyway.

catinental couch Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Just like they said about cars years ago. You pay $10,000.00 for an ownership card and build the car (sled) with the option list and price list!! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I remember when I was in valcourt back in '94. I toured the museum and drove by the plant. Lots of crates out it 'the field' that looked like they had been sitting there for a while. Talking to my dealer afterwards & he said if they have parts shortages, they would build the sled to completion, crate it & then store them. Bring them back into the plant to complete assembly.

Spiderman Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Question for you guys that are dealers - or know how they work. When a dealer is invoiced for a unit - I assume that means it's built - has a VIN etc. Once that happens - what follows? Is it built - Shipped to dist. warehouse - dist. invoices dealer - then delivered? Just curious ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One they are invoiced and has a VIN number it means the unit is built but in their computer it should show them either in transit or at the factory. At that point the unit is on their floor plan.
