Looks well suited and aptly named for that beautiful location
I keeping with the tradition of posting a picture, I will submit this:
It was on the lot, (no 8+ month wait) and had just arrived. Odometer 12 km, shipped SOC 43%.
HV Battery - manufacture date: 2020/8/27, BMS ROM ID 6980, part #37501-4054
Car manufacture date Sept 2020
Perfect! No recalls to worry about. I was getting a little anxious about my 2019 and discussed this with service dept. The car they had in (2019) for battery replacement the day before ( due to a non pass from the 960 update) was finally returned to the customer today after an approx 4 month wait.
The new Oct update is still to come and no details yet on what is involved. My 2019 had a case for motor replacement as well, which was in the works, so more wait times for that either (tapping noise).
I received a more than generous trade in on my 19 model with 12,400 km, and recouped 78% of the original MSRP.
In addition an xtra $1050 off (they had a promo on to include a level 2 EVSE valued at that- which I didn't need)
I also recouped over 83% of the original extended warranty and applied it to the new car.
The maintenance will be as follows:
1st year (12k kms) $69.00 (checks)
2nd year (24k kms) $200 (brakes take apart, clean & lubricate (pins etc) and checks
3Rd year Brake fluid change + checks (didn't get price but usually $200 or less)
Coolant change on the Kona @60K km
Picture of the detailers unwrapping my new gift:
Service manager topping up the brake fluid to the full line, as well as windshield washer fluid (coolant was full)
I just want to add a plug for Wheaton Hyundai in Nanaimo B.C. the best team I have dealt with and thanks for all the efforts to get me settled.
Nice!!! Hope the newer one is working out much better!

Appropriately, all are parked below the sprinkler system

Hi from Finland. I thought it would be cool to share something from here. Mine is registered december 3rd 2020 and driven 4037 kms. In here the top trim is called Style, it's got all the goodies except one needs to pay extra for full leather seats plus more for sunroof. I luckily did not want either even if those would've been included A friend of mine wrapped the roof in vinyl satin black and the front end is protected by some mystic wrap which should prevent stones and scratches. And if it gets some, I could just give it a bit of heat gun and it should be like new again. Windows are all tinted with very light film, only to keep 50 % of the sun heat outside of the car when parked during summer. Interior is black, part leather-part fabric with Krell audio. And actually, in the first place we were only thinking of buying a Zoe for wifey, but after I took a test drive with it I knew I needed ev also. Happy with both choices 
Both are really dirty at the moment, but they are for driving not washing 
Best Regards, Jani

Hi from California! We have a pair too! I plan to do a gloss black vinyl roof on my Kona, yours looks great! Wish they had the blue available when I got mine.

New Kona color, available now in New Jersey. It's called Pulse Red with Pollen Tinting
When I owned my Nissan EVs, I used that handy EV tool "Leaf" blower for just that sort of thing.
Probably work for our Kona EVs as well.

Here's mine in Martinborough New Zealand. It was one of the first batch to arrive in July 2018, and I took delivery in August that year. Today's picture does not show it's replacement traction battery which has just been installed - Yay! So good to have the car back It's at 33k kms.

Looks nice. Are the crossbars factory ones?

The crossbars were an option at the time of purchase and the dealer installed them. The brand is Whispbar. They are quiet, and can't be creating too much drag because I regularly get between 14 and 16 Kwh/100km. As well as load carrying they help find the parked car!
