Who in Canada is waiting for the Clarity

If you're in Ontario the rebate will likely be the first thing Doug Ford cancels. Assuming, of course, that Ontario has it's head far enough up it's arse to vote for him. Unfortunately, it currently looks like Ontario might be suffering from a rather severe case of recto-cranial-immersion.

 

Every one including Honda understand that if rebate is gone , no one will buy this car , so wait and watch. I am very clear on this concept, No rebate , than I will cancel the car.

 

While I agree that if Ford is elected he will eventually cancel the rebate, I don’t think it will be first time on his list.

He is a politician, he will take actions that benefit him the most first. Do you think cancelling the EV rebate when they already removed the rebate on premium cars will earn him maximum votes? I don’t.

Just remember that if the rebate is
cancelled and you cancel your order, you lose your ability to sue over the lost rebate. You can’t sue over hypothetical losses.

Hopefully we are never put in this dilemma, or a much better option is available down the road that we don’t care about losing the rebate.

Added to spreadsheet. If you ever needed proof these incentives work, look where orders come from. Zero people waiting in provinces with no incentive.

 

I just accepted the red clarity that Jason did not accept. Thank you Jason.
so net net: i am receiving a red, not green clarity 2 weeks earlier than the latest promised delivery date. No discounts - ( boo ) but a car. If Ottawa Honda is to b belived they have > 12 outstanding orders and are not taking any more orders until they can clear the backlog somewhat.

Re: Ontario election - I will know the result when I pickup the car but remember : if PCs win a majority government the Ontario incentive will , > 99% certainty, be gone, whether it is in a week or a year thereafter.

Good luck to the rest of you waiting. It has been nerve racking for me till Ottawa Honda offered the red one to me.

PS: vin end 054x , made in march and has 9 km on it.

 

I'm in Markham, Ontario. My neighbor fell in love with my Clarity and tried to order a 2018 but the dealer told him that there were no more available and so he gave them a deposit on a 2019 and was told to expect delivery in March of next year.

 

Paul Hamilton grey base ordered Feb 23

 

Any news on when your car is arriving or ready for pick up? Looks like it didn't make the end of May date you were told. You are the one and only buyer in this forum waiting for a Base model to have received a VIN!

 

I was told that my date was changed to June 5-11.

The only silver lining is that I have a Vin and papers with a vin

 

Based on the car selling websites, the are a tiny number of touring models in the county, you would probably have to pay full price if not more. Is your vehicle traded from another dealer?

 

my dealer ottawa honda had a buyer back out. As far as I can tell this was meant for a customer of this dealer and i was 2 down the line. The 1dt customer before me decined as he wanted a different colour.

 

HIghest vin recorded here so far is 570
total number sold in canada per may news update : 420

 

I just spoke to my dealer and good news, my car is there waiting to be prepped!

 

Congrats. Which colour, trim, and dealer?

 

Touring or base model?
And when did you placed order?
Thanks

 

I ordered April 16th. Touring, grey, White Rock Honda.

 

Add to the 420 the 2017 sales (27). Brings you to 447 sold in Canada out of 570 built (that we know of)
