Hello, friends!
We ordered a '22 Tucson HEV SEL Convenience in Deep Sea Blue with Gray/Black interior on 11/19/22. Due to inventory problems, the closest we got to a test drive was being able to sit in an '22 ICE SEL that the trucker accidentally left at the wrong dealership. We loved it so much we were willing to place a non-refundable deposit (I know, foolish).
My beloved in-laws (no sarcasm there) went back home and ordered their own about a month later in almost the exact spec from a larger dealer with a larger allocation. They received theirs at the beginning of the year. Wife and I both had a chance to test drive the in-laws' Tucson HEV. That didn't help the impatience. I obsessively tracked the order and lurked around the various fora to see what information I could glean. On 1/21 Hyundai tracking started stating it was at the dealership. Dealership states that they have vehicles that Hyundai shows as "in inventory" that they haven't seen for upwards of 20 days. This open ended waiting game is so much fun. I don't necessarily need any help in this situation, just putting it out here as more moral support for others in this position.
Here's a question, though. Anybody able to wedge three carseats in the back bench of this beast? I've seen one video on the YouTube where one father was able to do it. We have one forward facing in a 5-point harness and two in backless boosters. 1. Don't tell me to buy a minivan. We already have one. The Tucson will be our smaller vehicle. It'd just be nice to drive a smaller vehicle into town for lessons and practice without having to deal with the minivan. 2. We'd rather steer clear of the MiFold or others like it as they don't seem substantial enough.
Thanks for reading this far! Glad to be here.
