Just ordered ours on Saturday and were told 2 to 3 month wait. Painful. I'm hoping we get luckier than that but with how things are now we don't want to get our hopes up. Best wishes for speedy delivery for you and your wife!
Just ordered ours on Saturday and were told 2 to 3 month wait. Painful. I'm hoping we get luckier than that but with how things are now we don't want to get our hopes up. Best wishes for speedy delivery for you and your wife!After several days combing the sections and learning a batch on what will become our first-ever Hyundai and Tucson, I put mind to searching the process, hints, and experiences of buyers and owners that may help get a leg up on the ordering end. There's no lack of posts pertaining to Phev/Hev for our neighbors to the north, but I really found only one thread including a pretty useful link for tracking an order. But, to use the link requires progressing far enough along to have been issued a VIN.
My salesperson 'promised he'd wear us out' with updates and status along the way toward the 3-4 1/2 month wait to delivery. It's only been a week since our visit to the dealer we ended up ordering from, so I can pretend to be patient a bit longer. And for reference, trying to glean anything from the Hyundai online site results only in being immediately re-re-contacted by the geographically closest dealer where we live and asking how they can help. And also for reference that dealer was not selected as the one we chose to order from.
Did I miss something searching on here? Or, is there somewhere I can get steered to for getting better educated on the process, - and how to pro-actively nudge it along?
Is this for a regular or hybrid or plug in? I ask as with our hybrid we were told 6-10 months. (order was placed 3 weeks ago)Just ordered ours on Saturday and were told 2 to 3 month wait. Painful.

It's the 'regular' as you say (ICE, or old school gasser referenced below). And yes, when I asked the salesperson (v. high product knowledge IMO, and one of NUMEROUS reasons in selecting that dealership over 5 others communicated with that are closer to home), the reply was that there are no chip issues for the ICE model, but that the "additional ones" (? seven was it ?) for the hybrids are causing delays.Is this for a regular or hybrid or plug in?

Definitely a supply issue for Tucson’s coming from So Korea ( hybrids ). With the mess in Ukraine, Russia & China, it’s delayed delivery of the hybrids and plug in SUV’s. Our dealer told use hybrids probably won’t show up till fall ( and be 2023’s ). We opted to go with a 2.5 Limited, as most are made in Alabama. We’ll let Hyundai work out the bugs in the supply chain for a couple of years, then revisit the hybrid models.Is this for a regular or hybrid or plug in?

Our dealer was no longer taking orders here in Ohio ( February ‘22 ), but we put a deposit for a future hybrid delivery. After two moths, the dealer said it could be the end of the summer before a significant number of hybrids shows up and even the, the back orders was crazy. We opted for a 2.5 Limited ( proven technology ), which is due this week. It’s got all the bell and whistles, less the hybrid engine. We’ll revisit the hybrids in a couple of years, once Hyundai ( and all manufacturers) fix the supply chain issues.The old saying applies, "Evil minds think alike." When our X-er and Millennial kids got to 'helping us' replace our 20-year old SUV they were pushing hard for hybrid. The wife and I actually considered them seriously in the hunt, but it took little time tracking the 'trending' that COVID and the more current events have combined to make them harder to entertain. The wife's quite pleased with her new ride. And, she's got something she'll either be perfectly happy with for the next two decades, or, we flip it in a few years for a new EV. And yes, I've already run a 55A. branch line in the garage for a future charger.
I did want a hybrid but like you decided it just wasn't the right timing for two reasons. The obvious they just are not readily available. But also I see a trend of problems with them not happening with the ICE model. Not that the ICE model has zero problems rare for any new car to have none. So with that combination I bought the ICE, SEL/Convenience/Premium/Cargo package and so far very happy overall with it.Our dealer was no longer taking orders here in Ohio ( February ‘22 ), but we put a deposit for a future hybrid delivery.

No question I will want a hybrid or even an EV but now just isn't the time.
