Mid Sized Sleds... and Cain's Quest

Polaris is the worst. Way too many models, color choices, options, etc. People who snowcheck don’t want their brand new sleds in February or March. Reduce the options and models, make them easier to produce and let the buyers customize the sleds themselves after they get them. The way winters have been going, the majority of new owners will have way more time to spend fiddling with the sleds in the garage than actually riding them. 

And again that had nothing to do with why sleds are late.  Easy to build is not the problem.  Parts shortage was.  They can build them all if they had parts.

Part shortage. Supply chain bullshit. None of this was unknown during spring snowcheck of ‘21 and especially ’22. Solution, quit offering sleds with so many different colored parts. Quit offering sleds with so many different track lengths, lug heights and drive configurations. Quit offering so many different models of sleds. Instead they didn’t, pissed off a ton of people and are now stuck with both a whole group of customers that swore to never again buy from Polaris and a bunch of canceled snow check sleds.

Planning and management have 0 excuses.  This isn't a surprise anymore.  Doo and AC did the same thing, but not as bad as poo.  AC dropped the ball big time by trusting fox to deliver on time after the same issue with the same kashima coated parts last year.

Variation isn't the cause of supply issues.  While planning isn't easy, they have no issues with it.  When their vendors can't deliver however it means they can't either.  One could have easily argue that the more variation the better as the reliance on a single vendor goes away.  Either way, all of the late sleds this year were solely due to a lack of parts.
