I initially opted for the Kona because it is slightly cheaper and had great reviews. My Hyundai dealer says the car should get here in early September (which is soon!) Since the deposit is fully refundable, I am still hesitant in opting for the Model 3, from what I gather the price difference is ~6.5k$, which over the life of the vehicle is not that much
Kona EV Preferred: 49,023$
Model 3 Standard Range Plus: 55,590$
(including taxes, excluding incentives)
Now there a some pros and cons to each, which is why I'm still on the fence:

Kona Pros:
- Slightly greater range
- less expensive
- Better build quality (unsure about this one)
- Not a lot of space for rear passengers (how bad is it?)
- I find the interior ugly and feels "cheap"
- A few instances of cars catching on fire, not much info from Hyundai yet
- Looks amazing
- Better performance
- Rear wheel drive (I live in Quebec City)
- Quality issues, unsure if fixed or how Tesla dealt with it
- More expensive
