Canadian Ioniq 5 pre-order 'build date' emails?

I got my first notification from "Hyundai Auto Canada" Nov 5, and an update today (Nov 11) correcting the build date from May 21 to May 2022.

 

May I ask when you ordered?

 

I ordered Sept 28 and am number 1112

 

I emailed my dealer and he told me I'm #95 but I didn't receive a build date or email from Hyundai Canada. I ordered Ultimate package in cyber gray.
I asked the dealer if I could downgrade to LR AWD and he said it would reset the priority order and likely delay delivery by 4-5 months. I then asked what about color change, and haven't heard back. They aren't super responsive at this particular dealership.

Edit: I ordered on June 2nd.

 

Received mine Nov. 5th. Number 198. Build date December 2021. I ordered on June 2nd.

 

I ordered Sept 12 the RWD LR and no email yet. Even contacted my dealer and they had no available info.

 

I believe that may be because all of the initial builds will be the Ultimate and AWD trims. It's not unusual for the higher margin cars to be built and shipped first. Also, your late order date may well place your build date beyond Hyundai's ability to project at this point. My guess would be mid 2022.

 

Hello everyone, I order on June 2nd at 11h15pm Eastern time. On August 24th, I got a text form my dealership saying that my estimate time on production should be around October 2021. Since that, I got no other info, I did not ask either. Maybe I should send them a mail! I Ordered the Ultimate Package, with Shooting star color...

 

Hi,
I’m #83 and my Preferred AWD Long Range, Cyber grey has arrived to Canada. It is in Vancouver. I should have it before Christmas, but it depends how to situation in BC will evolve. I also tried to change the package, but I would have lost my rank. All in all I am happy with the preferred since it has the longest range for the AWD.

 

Where are you located?

 

Last week they called me to let me know of the interest rate and the price! So I thought my car was in Vancouver too! I also came across the new Spiderman Movie and it will feature the Ioniq 5 and orher electric/hybrid Hyundai Car! That movie will be out on December 17th! So I’m thinking that they will be delivered around that date, for a North American launch! My guess.

 

Near Quebec City (I updated my profile location)

 

I have an appointment for my current car value tomorrow! It's getting closer!

 

Wow! I'd like to know if you do manage to get delivery across the country by Christmas. My Kona took 2 months to get to Ontario.

 

That's great news! And wonderful that your dealer is getting you that information. Or is any of this info coming to you from emails from Hyundai Canada?

I'm #162 in the queue, located in Ottawa, also for a Preferred AWD, but haven't really heard anything from my dealer, even though I've contacted them a couple of times to let me know as soon as they have any news.

I thought all of the current cars in Vancouver were intended as dealer demos, but I guess they don't need that many of those - maybe 50 across Canada? If supplies are limited, as they are, maybe they'll just provide them to the pre-order customers, since there is little point in marketing if they have no inventory. And they have a market demand already waiting for more vehicles in Australia, Europe and elsewhere. I assume the US launch must be delayed due to limited inventory. And/or they are having the rest of the world work out any deployment issues before hitting the US market...

 

I received my VIN last week, supposed to receive it at the end of the month or beginning of January i was 69 on the canadian list preferred awd long rage black
Can't wait

 

I’ll keep you posted.

Yes, the rep is the best I’ve ever had. Being new to Hyundai, I’m impressed. Tesla has been the worst (had 2). The online buying process from Hyundai is the best I’ve experienced (compared to VW and Tesla). But the info (car location, delays, VIN) is coming straight from the rep.
