I can only assume that unless you or the dealer get a VIN number, the vehicle is not dedicated to you and it may have been allocated to someone already waiting months for it. I do hope I am wrong and that you get it soon.
I do have the VIN and it is allocated to my dealer. But see the below screenshot from earlier today ....I can only assume that unless you or the dealer get a VIN number, the vehicle is not dedicated to you and it may have been allocated to someone already waiting months for it.

I think things are significantly different here in Canada. For instance, you'd never get to a display where Hyundai shows all their new car inventory to the public in Canada as was posted above!@NYSpur, these VIN are meaningless until it is at the dealers lot.
When I ordered my from a dealer, they have VINs showing on their website too, I questioned my salesperson, but they don't actually have it yet, yet it is being allocated but on its way for their sold customers.
I was in the same boat as you, I ordered, thinking it will be here in 3 months, but the delay news comes in after another, I cancelled my HEV order and went with another brand, and I got my car after 4 weeks, just picked up last week.
I think Hyundai under estimated the demand for this vehicle and it is unable to keep up with their production amid the supply chain shortages.
It isn't just the computer chip now, it is everything to do with raw materials that they need to make parts for assembly, and of course, this applies to all car manufacturers.
I would suggest to explore another brand if your need for a new car is more urgently rather than to wait until it arrives whenever it is ready.
Alas, the tax provision requires that it be placed in service in the year applicable and completing the financial arrangements (with the attendant risks) doesn't meet that requirement. Will be even more infuriating if it gets delivered just after the turn of the year!I picked an SEL gas Tucson from my dealers website in WI, put a deposit down, and waited 3 weeks for the delivery. Delivery day came and went, they emailed and said maybe it would be in that night after they close. Next day, nothing. It ended up being 3 days later than the promised date and the dealer had no way of tracking or knowing why it was late.
Not as bad as your situation, but it seems like once it's in transit the dealer doesn't have much information or control over it. Hope you get it soon! Wonder if they could sell it to you this year to get the tax credit even though it's not actually in your hands? Probably risky for all involved.
Thanks for relating your experience; I now know to stay clear and avoid wasting my time!I know this from experience. Emailing 'My Hyundai' does absolutely Nothing! You get, days later, an answer that has nothing to do with your question. I first subscribed on My Hyundia with a gamil address, Hyundai questioned my password, so I tried a different email at Yahoo, thought I had made a good choice, but, the software at Hyundai has remembered my gmail address and now all the Bluelink features don't work! No remote start, No alarm setting, it does nothing, when I questioned My Hyundai, I received a reply about 'using the MAP feature online' Nonsense.
A happy ending --- I hope!Alas, the tax provision requires that it be placed in service in the year applicable and completing the financial arrangements (with the attendant risks) doesn't meet that requirement. Will be even more infuriating if it gets delivered just after the turn of the year!
I know you'll enjoy it, I do mine! .....Hyundai is a pain in the butt for sure.A happy ending --- I hope!
After much frustration, Hyundai updated their site to show "arriving on 12/30/21". But it didn't. However, it did arrive on 12/31 and I was able to take possession at 5:30 pm yesterday!
The moral of the story, Hyundai has a lot to learn about PR.
