I ordered end of October – pick up tomorrow. I agree with fwippers – the one thing we have learnt over the months is it is very difficult to understand Hyundai logic in build and shipping – we know shortage of chips played a big part and possibly was the reason for ultimate taking longer ie more chips. But I suspect some cars are built not too a specific order but to the most popular colour spec etc – then just your luck if it matches your order – when they are gone – then you wait for the next batch of specific colour spec etc. But I do understand the frustration – many of us have been there. It will be 9 months for me – some have been fortunate with nearer 3 months and I’m sure some unlucky people will be more than me. Take comfort that you could have easily chosen a manufacturer with a much longer order time – ID3 comes to mind.
Colour certainly seems to play a part, the trim too and thirdly, dealer build slots. I know my dealer ordered the car with Hyundai the day I saw him, others have to wait for build slots. The ID.3, the last I heard had appx 12-15 month wait, VW quote 44 weeks. This time tomorrow you´ll have your Kona, I have a long 48 hours additional wait!
