I have no interest in any Hyundai to be honest. Caddy Blackwing is looking better. Going to go by the dealer Saturday and if I don't have my car by then I may switch to one of those.
Can’t deny the unbelievable performance for the money. But what ever Hyundai is doing to deliver consistent cars is incredible compared to Hondas logistics.

Just got a call from my local dealership in Burlington, Washington. I put my deposit back in December. They asked me for my top 3 color choices. They are estimating that it maybe between 60 to 90 days. Hopefully there estimate is correct.

I'm just not a fan. It's a personal preference. However whoever was in charge of this logistics operation should probably be sweeping floors now. Maybe they should poach Hyundai's people....or me. I'm pretty successful in the supply chain lol

Will this be their first or second allocation?

I also received a call today from the WA dealership where I’m first in line. This is likely the second wave coming.

It seems like dealers are at least getting early allocations this go around. They don’t have a VIN yet. Maybe that means the boat is on the water or they are just getting started building them. Who knows.

Well mine was built the second week of August and my dealer got their allocation on Halloween so that may be an indication of when the second wave is coming.

Hyundai has done a good job. They also manufacture their own semiconductors or a high percentage of. When your volume is consistent, life is easier.

That is exciting news.

with what is happening in California right now as far as weather, expect more delays...

these second wave cars won't hit until probably feb-march realistically

we did see some new ones pop up part of the second round, but their vins are not even active in IN which mean they're at minimum a month before arriving in the states

yeh and Hyundai has been shipping 2 to 3 cars every month to each dealer since launch.
Hyundai is the only vertically integrated auto manufacturer on the planet. It would be sad if they couldn't move their own metal when they own every part of their process.

The second wave hits in late February to March. Below are some of the Florida dealerships that get the 2nd wave. None of these dealerships got from the first wave of cars.

The 1/10 is the production date, cars generally take 4-6 weeks after the production date to touch ground but seeing as these cars are coming from Japan, it'll be more like 8-10 weeks.

He's right the 2nd wave is for the dealerships that didn't get on the first batch but met the requirements for receiving the FL5.

Folks who overpaid for this car are hoping for it to be “limited “ to feel better about it. It’s already been estimated that there will be over 10k FL5’s in the US over its production run. Honda isn’t going to design the car, retool a car factory and not sell as many of them as they can.
Check out this video from Car News. Read the description. It says about 4800 a year will be built globally. That’s far less then the fk8.
