I don't get it ... you guys are discussing and speculating whether there are some cars sitting somewhere in the port in Canada or not ... if, any of the vehicles are for paying clients, those people would have to actually sign a binding agreement, typically followed with a VIN # ... to my knowledge, nothing of this sort has happened. I do not recall reading about one person who signed a purchase agreement with a dealer and knowing financial terms involved. I signed a paper which was an agreement to give them my refundable 1000$ with firm agreement to follow when they get rest of the purchase agreement verbage.
For me personally, I am in Ontario, so this car is now about 10K too high for my purse. Considering the size of the vehicle ... which really is shockingly small, especially the hatch space ... there's just no way for me to go for this. Will move on, waiting for Kia Niro EV ... should be lower price for more space, will see. Plus I already know what Kia can do with EV's, owning Soul myself for over a year.
I also think they will not be rushing to Ontario, due to the death of any rebates ... it's just naturally what limited production EV company will do. They can sell every car shipped to ZEV states in US, Norway, UK ... you name it ... so they will not risk shipping Kona's here and having to discount them. Not the way they work.
