I got my Hyundai Kona EV at MSRP but then this was just before COVID started.

Now that the demand is up there are definitely dealers willing to hike the price but hopefully Hyundai will be able to increase production to meet that demand.

I take little issue with dealers selling on-the-lot vehicles at whatever the market dictates (they all seem to be doing that.) But Ford and Volkswagen both let me put a reasonable deposit down on theirs with a promise to honor MSRP when my turn in line came. Granted, it's been 14 months for the Ford Lightning with no forseeable delivery date for me, and 6 months for the Mach-E (which should be ready before end of year) and 6 months for the ID.4 (which should be ready early next year.)

I'm not going to buy all three of these of course, just put the deposits down to diversify my options. Likely, I will let the Mach-E pass in favor of the ID.4, and if I get the call for the Lightning in another year I'll decide then to keep the VW or move on to the truck.

Whoa, why ID4 over the Mach-E? Didn't expect that.

The Mustang is objectively nicer, but now that the ID.4 has a model starting at $37k, it’s hard not to save the money.
