I think you are going to get a fabulous car. And I don't believe you will lose your deposit. But you have a long wait ahead of you. Maybe you should but a Xebra to tide you over.

I've toyed with that idea, I just can't figure out how to make it work for my family of 5. I use the e-bike for solo commutes, but it's a bit weather dependent.

Looks like there will be a very long wait and price increase in the future.

Nothing new in there. And I don't think anyone would be surprised if there are delays. I hope not, but we'll see.

I expect delays, and price increases, and a really great car to come at the end of it.
