I ordered an Audi Q4 e-tron day 1 (sometime in April), and my production date has been delayed twice, which was basically as expected.

I think the biggest issue is really going to be supply chain as EV production ramps up. I actually see the cost for an EV going UP rather than down.

Regarding cost, yeah I'd have loved a government payout, but just thinking about the cost of this car in Alberta compared to provinces that have EV rebates, the lack of a PST basically covers it.
