Congrats. What was your last known priority number?

Us, who missed the cut off for orders have no hopes for this year anyway 😂

 

[killinbrae]

Sounds like things are finally picking up. Hopefully this is a good sign that Canada will have more on the way!

Just got word that my red Tucson PHEV ultimate is on its way and should be at the dealer (Surrey BC) in a couple of weeks. Ordered November 2021. Last known priority number was 42.

Promising that November people are getting their orders. That means they should fulfill everything very soon, and maybe they will get to some of us 🙂

Finger crossed! I put my name on the list for 2023 model exactly one year ago. You?

I put my deposit in March, but i assume any cars will mostly be dealer allocations, and i am in Alberta and we don't get a lot of those

I got a call on Wednesday from the dealership to let me know there's no update on PHEV, but they have some Tucson HEVs they can get by end-of-month. It's honestly not worth it for me, so I turned them down.
I have a 2011 CUV that's still doing ok. Requires like $1000/yr in maintenance and gets like 11L/100km with city/highway mix. HEV won't wave me much money and with a 6% car loan, I'm just lining the bank's pockets for a new shiny toy. The longer I'm waiting, the bigger my down payment. At this rate, I'll end up paying cash for the damn thing...

The sales manager admitted that he was not certain at all about the shipping timeline. He said he didn't have access to detailed information about it. Could be a case of expectations management.

It's also curious that he said he did not have VIN available, when @KevinL said that he was told his VIN. But I will take whatever good news I can get. And I am keeping my Outback order active until I drive the Tucson off the lot.

Just got the happy news that my 2023 Tucson PHEV (Ultimate, Titan Grey) is on its way as well. My salesperson says it will be landing in Edmonton ”in March”.

Not great news for those hoping to see one this year , i don't understand the obsession with BEVs

Thanks for posting this. It seems peculiar that PHEV shipments to Canada were cut off during the months when production was relatively high, and are resuming now that production is dropping.

On the demand side, I can see some reasons for the obsession. A BEV can make sense as a second vehicle, for commuting and local driving. Also, car companies seem to be putting their best stylists onto their BEV products; many of them are very eye-catching.

But for someone like me, who wants only a single vehicle, and who needs to be able travel from Calgary to Regina in January in one day, in warm comfort, a BEV is not fit for purpose.

Many companies are focusing on BEVs right now because they are racing to steal a piece of the market share away from Tesla.

BEVs are also the true zero-emission vehicle in addressing climate change. PHEVs are not achieving real world fuel mileages that they theoretically are supposed to get. It's been reported that people aren't charging them enough (i.e. driving them as hybrids on long distance trips) or not charging them at all (perhaps people who just wanted to take advantage of government rebates available in many countries but had no means of charging them at home).

I just wish I could afford a BEV. But I work from home and can't justify the cost of an expensive car, as I'll never see the fuel savings. Lol

I am the same, i need single car to do it all. We tow in the summer so BEV just doesn't make sense as i wouldn't even get to the campsite 😂

I wish we had those numbers for the Sportage as well, i have reserved both but none of them seems to be coming this year.

I’m just helping a friend out with this. Her commute costs $600 a month in gas so “on paper” a BEV makes sense. Her cost for access to the level 2 charger in her condo is $40 a month. So she’s looking at a 2000 Nissan Leaf for $20,000. I have advised that BEV batteries are “supposed” to last 15 years with a degradation curve starting at about 8 to 10 years.

So for a long commuter with access to charging at work and home then a BEV makes sense. The ICE vehicle costs over $7000 a year in fuel so a BEV purchase of $20,000 has a break even at 3 years and if kept till it’s 10 years old then she is making money.

But I said the caveat is that the Leaf won’t be worth very much at all in 10 years.

Then again a 10 year old ICE won’t be worth much in 10 years as, theoretically, Canada will no longer have new ICE sales by 2035.

I guess that’s why people are focusing on BEV. Especially if gas hits over $2.50 a litre like the rumours are hinting at for this summer.

Yeah, all works amazing for daily commutes.

But lets look at it. In 2035, we will have plenty of ICE sales, because there is no freaking way we can handle the charging required for all cars to be electric.
If you dont count Teslas, it is impossible to find a charger that is not broken and charges you at usable speed.

Also, just look at the damn number of camper trailers on the roads. No EV will tow them, you will be out of charge before your next charging station.

So yeah, for daily commute, BEV makes absolute sense and I would do the same. But for households such as ours, where we have 1 car for everything, because we both work from home, we go shopping and on trips mostly, we tow in the summer - PHEV is probably the farthest we can get right now

We put deposit February 2022 for Tucson PHEV Ultimate, and last friday We took our deposit back.
I found and purchased 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV here in Ontario Canada on the way to dealeship.
Car should arrive next week. I am sorry but it was full year of waiting with no word from Hyundai.
Hopefully next week or so We will be in the new car and after a road test drive I have to say Outlander Phev is nice car.
Purchased 2023 Outlander Phev SEL black on black at regular MRSP no extra charges.
Good luck guys with Tucson hopefully Hyundai will delivery cars faster.

I'm surprised people are waiting as long as they have been unless there have been no alternatives anyway.
