Kona in California?

TyinSac · Feb 13, 2019

im extremely annoyed with the cooperate communications about this car. I have been on this email list for months with no information, and dealers from LA to Sacramento seem to be completely in the dark. Its half way through Feb, so Q1 is almost over. Does anyone know anything or am I going to have to just give up the notion of purchasing the car I want?

I'm a bit surprised we haven't heard more about timing yet. The Kia Niro EV is now said to be coming by the end of the month _- though I've heard it's more likely toward the end of March. I can imagine how frustrating it is to be waiting and not hearing word, though. Still, with deliveries probably beginning sooner than later, now is probably not the time to give up.

Yeah, it is frustrating. I'm on a few contact lists of several dealers and the official Hyundai email list. Nothing ... [emoji21]

So things are the same south of the border, sorry to hear that.
I have a distinct feeling in my gut that by the time I receive my car (pre-order July 17/18) the first batch of delivered cars may be due for their first annual service

I just noticed that cargurus.com is showing about 20 Hyundai Kona Electrics in California

Very interesting. Here's a link to a general search for it on Cargurus. (I usually use cars.com, but ~~they don't have a Kona Electric category yet~~ they do now.)

Looks like Edmunds is showing 5 or so Konas in Maryland in addition to the ones out in California
