Any word on building (BOOST) sleds?…

My opinion is that the boost production issues are 100% Polaris's fault. Here is my reasoning:
  1. The boost sleds were sold out by the second day of the snocheck program
  2. Polaris knew there were supplier issues all last season and those issues likely were not going away.
  3. They built axys body sleds before matryx boost
  4. They built trail sleds before mountain sleds, you would think they would know by now that snow hits the mountains first, Revelstoke has gotten 182 inches, that's 15 feet of snow already this year.
  5. They're the most expensive sled they build and most of the customers are the most dedicated customer's they have, treat them like it. Don't use up the egt sensors, spindles and S7 gauges on the other models and make us wait. That's bullshit.
Let me know what part of this you don't agree with
Well like you said in your first sentence it's your opinion. Which everyone is entitled to an opinion. There is zero factual stuff in your opinion why this is Polaris' fault. Good thing opinions don't matter because I can guarantee you wouldn't like mine. I'm willing to bet from reading your opinion, that you don't own a business. I really think anyone who doesn't own and understand how to run a successful business is going to understand this isn't Polaris fault.
 
Nice.
My dealer is out of sensors, I already checked!
Starting to get serious....so far I have been ok with the delays due to the lack of snow, but now the season is almost on in SE Idaho.
May have to ride the old standby 13 pro I guess.

anyone have that sensor part # I think I may try to buy one and have it for when my sled shows just in case..
 
I’m with mt sledder Polaris is at fault snow check program means nothing if they can’t deliver on time. Floor models in season is not right. If my sled needs parts and they have new sleds and no parts to finish mine they should be parting out new inventory to finish a snowcheck. We are in a sad state of America if we are just supposed to accept the current situation.

I think you should round up all your buddies. Grab some torches, pitch forks, shovels, and march to the factory and show Polaris!!!

I get, it’s not ideal, and it’s aggravating ….but honestly in the grand scheme of 2021 getting a sled a little late, but the real riding season has barely started, is barely worth a mention. Maybe some people somehow (??) haven’t ran across just HOW BAD the supply chains really are? Everyone involved in getting your junk to you is working harder than ever, and it’s just not going great for basically….every reason imaginable. And it’s not an America thing…it’s a WORLD thing. People have been waiting a year for more important stuff like cars, trucks, siding, house windows, you name it. It’s just whining.
 
Snowcheck and floor models should be treated the same by the manufacturer.

They are all "sold" to the dealer. For sales, there is no reason to make one more important than the other. They all have the goal of getting them to the dealer at a predertimened time.

With some of these complaints, It's obvious those people have never worked in a production environment.

The fact that the Maytrix is new, the manufacturer more than likely had to wait on parts. It's ignorant to assume that a manufacturer will just shut the production line down and send everyone home and wait till all of the parts arrive. That would be the quickest way to bankrupt a business.

The line has to run to make money, changing from model to model is expensive, that is down time that you pay a labor force with no return!

In lieu of causing a complete shutdown,
U move to the next available model(product) and run that through. You do not shut down production in the middle of a run to go back to another product unless there is a substantial monetary gain.

The supply chain issue is real but, like humans do, they take advantage of the situation and may push things off and use this as an excuse.

Maybe Polaris should consider moving the snowcheck program a month or two earlier, to give them more time to get the sleds delivered in November +/-. It would seem these late delivers are becoming more common in recent years. Obviously Covid, supply issues, etc, but why not just start earlier on sleds?

A month or 2 earlier lol they're assembling the trail sleds, utility sleds, crossover sleds, and non snow check sleds. The mountain sled line is about 25 to 30% of the sled market and maybe 1/2 of that is the snow checked mountain sleds. People also snow check trail sleds, utility sleds and crossover sleds which get sold worldwide also so why should the mountain sled line take precedence over the other sled lines. I have not snow checked for the last 2 years because I knew there was going to be supply issues.
 
But then we have the question of Why offer a Snowcheck program to be guaranteed a sled and options if you don't deliver on that guarantee

I believe the only variable on their snowcheck is delivery.
From my memory, everyone has received what they ordered , just not when they expected to.

The delivery guarantee is stupid....
Too many variables.
