The 2020 model year was a wind down and they planned a lower production. No surprises there. There was no 2021 model year for either version. This again was planned and stated clearly in their press releases.

Well, I've got a notification that mine is "being built" and an estimated arrival at US Port of February 20th. Hope that is far enough along. I will feel more comfortable when I have a VIN...

FYI - I was fairly skeptical of your claims that a chip shortage would end up slowing down car production - it appears that I was wrong. |

2022 marks my 30th anniversary of working in management for Tier One automotive parts manufacturers. I hear things so when I give my theories they are at least fact based. Unlike so many I am not just expressing opinion with ideas I pulled out of my ass.
