    I still find it super weird. A (remote) coworker bought an ioniq 5 after 9 months on a wait list… 3 months later, I went to a dealership. they had one on the lot (3 actually). Was able to get one with 0 wait.

    Looking at their website, they have 4 2024 ioniq 5s available right now, an SEL, SE, and 2x Limited.

    So apparently my local dealership is the sweet spot. Or is this purely a Canada vs US thing?

      Yes, availability in the US is much better. You can find a base ioniq 5 here easily now, but nobody wants those. Everyone wants the long range AWD.

        I want a long range RWD Limited but apparently those are unicorn cars. The AWD only gets like 240 miles of range while the RWD is over 300.
