I think having a knowledgeable person to deal with is worth the wait for me. Getting my deposit back and have a secured manual coming a little later. At least ya'll got pictures and a video from me? hehe

Good for you to stand your ground.
Although I am excited for this car, I think the features have been over hyped, and the dealers have been a little scammy in how they "sold" the cars to buyers. I feel like the car was horribly misrepresented in Canada, and I have come close to changing my mind a few times (and still might). In Canada for example, even though each dealership only got 1 or 2 cars, Toyota set a "special" financing/lease rate that is "higher" than every other car it sells-- they have NEVER done this before for a release series--EVER. What a jerkstore (Seinfeld reference) thing to do. Make that one customer pay a special financing rate.
Love the "pure pricing" garbage-- some dealerships mark that shit up and claim you can't haggle because of "pure pricing". Super scammy. At least that isn't allowed in Canada. Dealers can be reported to OMVIC for that crap.
Happy you are still getting your car. I think a lot of sales ppl are being ass hatty about these cars because they know they will sell them quickly.
All I know is the longer I wait, the less I feel this car is "worth it."
Anyway-- just my opinion...
