2019 850 SC
We ordered ours on March 7th and was told by Polaris that it is supposed to ship November 9th and should be in Alaska at the end of November. Call and complain to Polaris, see if they will try and fix the situation. If enough consumers complain, maybe they will do something to make it right. It’s sad that Skidoo and Arctic Cats are already here. Also why is it that dealerships and sponsored riders can get theirs but customers that put money down have to wait on ours? Hmmmm

Chris Burandt claims he don’t have his yet, just saying.
I was at a Avy class on Tuesday in Fairbanks and seen the 850 sitting on the back of a truck, so I know they have them.
Interesting as all of the lower 48 Polaris guys are claiming they are still waiting on theirs. Some of the Ambassadors have them already but the only factory guys that have shown they have sleds are the guys with the 600 Race sled.
Burandt, Adams, and Entz did not have their 850's as of yesterday. As a Polaris Ambassador myself, I do not have mine either. However, they are being shipped and people are definitely getting them. I know my dealer has 163's in transit to the shop.
Iv had mine since the 19th of October, but that was based off nothing more than pure luck with the fuel pump issue

The 250 number must be sleds that have shipped or been delivered already I guess.

Not ALL.
I know a lot of guys who aren't ambassadors that had theirs in September. My buddy is one.
Mine wasn't supposed to ship until Nov 20. It was held up by the "issue"...and yet it was delivered to the dealer on Oct 31.
I'm not quite sure what your issue is. It's industry normal for everyone who orders in the spring (snowcheck) and wait for them to be built over the course of summer and fall. Spring orders almost always have to wait until fall to receive their snowcheck.
Motorsports industry is unique in that they don't mass produce and hope to sell. The spring order program is a way for them to gauge the demand, so they can produce the right number of units. They don't want to overproduce. They are trying to help balance supply and demand so they don't over produce.
Maybe AC and Doo didn't sell as many, and therefore can get them out the door sooner..
I've heard Polaris had around 10,000 850s to build, though I'm not sure what the actual confirmed number is.
Which factory guys already have their 850's? I had not seen anyone talk about them yet.
It wasn't until recently that belt driven units started showing up so that could be playing into a conceived delay. I just read about how people are waiting for their Doo's so I'd say there's nothing Polaris specific going on that people should be complaining about.
Haven't seen any factory riders with their 850's yet.

I have a few of mine....70 % shipped from factory early this week .... and the remainder will ship next week.
A bunch of us who knew the schedule told you guys months ago that the sleds would arrive +/- end of Oct, beginning of November. So a couple months of intense speculation and over-analysis later ..... and that is still the answer. That timeline applies to athletes, ambassadors, dealer owners/employees, yada yada....none of that matters it's just how they roll off the line.

My dealer called said it's there need a few days till pickup. I said great I'm busy anyway and no snow to ride till Thanksgiving. Will want to be careful on early snow as there are no new ones to be purchased by insurance.
Oh, I don't k now of any factory guys who have confirmed receipt of theirs.
I was referring to ANYONE in the lower 48. Some do have their sleds. Even a few Alaskans got their sleds last month.
Yep...you me and the doc....Guess we've missed the October riding in Gaspe again...
Good news is we don't have to pay for them yet either
That I agree with. Neighbor across the street already has his in the garage.
Yeah and I think I saw Dan Adams received some too. Seems like it's at the same pace as the consumer masses.
