Deliveries: orphans vs. reserved?

Just one day short of one week ago, scAlexandria had sold 163 cars, 13 of them orphans. Mind asking your dealership what was the % in your neck of the woods?

I asked Allison at one point and she said that only about 4% of those she's allocated to handle become orphans.

Universal City Smart gets 40 to 45 smarts per month. 30% are becoming Orphans.
Straight from the dealers mouth. Personally I think 40 smarts per month is dragging major ass and total bottle neck in the deliver process. Just my 2 cents.
