if u check the sales centre of PE and E
PE
Sales Outlet= 227
Sales Centre = 145
E
Sales Centre=34
Total Sales Outlet/Centre= 406
A total of 406 show room cars are required for each sales outlet/centre.
For test drive, another 406, should be around 812 cars for just sales/marketing purpose if all sales/outlet have 1 test drive car.
If P1 start production on 1 nov, there are only 5 working days before they send out some of those inspira to kuching sat/sun or east coast on monday.
5 x 80 car per day = 400 (not sure whether the production start earlier or not)
So, definitely not enough to send to customer.
If start sending on 20th with same production start date, there's 14 working days.
14 x 80 = 1120 but must send out some for test drive car and need to go through PDI/QA check.. will have different delivery date
based on the news on 25th oct, there's 1500 booking.
Means 10 days except sunday(from 14oct to 25th oct). Average of 150 bookings a day.
1120-812 = 308 cars for customer.
if only 308 cars available for customer, then most likely those who book on 14 and 15 will get the car by 20 something nov onwards.
* the above is a rough estimation on delivery date based on available data from news. Will differs if the p1 policy and production start date and operational days are different.
