I think several factors will ultimately determine who gets their cars earliest, it wasn't a lottery so logic should tell us some things count.
1. How fast were you on the web site to get a cert. (this will probably turn out to be the least important factor)
2. Once the window for ordering opened, how quickly did you give your committment, and your money to your favorite dealer, or did you wait a month pitting one dealer against another? Hey, the dealers gotta'have their list..who placed the cert with them first? Who had money down first? That's fair. Wow, maybe the officers were savvy enough to jump in here. We are not dealing with the Peoples Republic Of Dodge here, the dealers are still independent franchises and can put people in any order they want, if you pushed for $100 over dealer cost and waited to the last minute to pick a dealer and more civilized individuals were willing to give the dealer a fair profit and commit early the DEALER may have submitted you last.
3. Who is your dealer? Most important, and I believe this will be the deciding factor even though we all, including the dealers were led to believe it made no difference... how quickly did your dealer get his orders in when the window opened, by fax, by snail mail? Was your order in with money down at this point? If not, you don't deserve to be whining now...this race goes to those who are quick, decisive, committed, not too cheap, and who pick a knowledgeable dealer and negotiate with that dealer in an honorable manner.
4. Now as to the officers, I believe those gentlemen and ladies are all smart enough to position themselves to take advantage of all the above rules of the game, but if they did have an inherent advantage I would not begrudge them that, I have been on a bunch of volunteer boards, it's hard work and you should get somthing for it! If it were a total of 20 cars how much could that delay the other orders, couple days?
5. Final point, scuttlebutt has it at this point that what you are assuming is happening, is not happening at all or at least not with any discernable pattern. Some of those very much in the know about this are scratching their heads at the true randomness of the pattern that is evolving.
