When are people hearing from the concierge after making reservations? I made mine nearly a week ago and have yet to hear anything... not that there is anything "new" to report. Has it been via phone call or email for people?
Only thing I found the concierge useful was when I changed color and dealer. No info since then. I am considering canceling my $100 since the dealer won't necessarily get your exact config but will match you to a similar vehicle. You then have to give them the reservation letter in order to get it applied to your purchase. Ford doesn't require money down to do a reservation for the Maverick, not that I am interested in a Ford. If the SC is delayed and I don't buy before October, the reservation gets refunded anyway.So, have you all received anything substantive besides what is on the web site? Options lists? Proposed delivery dates? Anything that would justify paying $100 for "insider" status?
Same experience as above here. Call simply confirmed my entries on the website, then questions about how I intend to buy. I was honest with them and told them I planned to purchase, was prequalified already, may have a trade in and what it was (but depends on what you are offering for it) and said I'm open to using Hyundai financing if they have a better rate or special incentive financing like the 0% they are offering on Tucson's. All information from me to them that has nothing to do with my hopefully reserving an early chance at purchase.So, have you all received anything substantive besides what is on the web site?

You can get what you want. The dealer gets an allocation and places his order against that for the models and configs he wants. Establish a dialog with your dealer, and make sure the spec you want is in his order que. I hope to be in the first allocation wave and will sit down with the dealer to spec my SC before his orders go in...I am considering canceling my $100 since the dealer won't necessarily get your exact config but will match you to a similar vehicle.

100% agree Hyundai should offer some kind of bonus for those that are willing to put down a deposit, like a free upgrade to nicer floor mats or mud flaps, pretty much anything as a thank you. Heck at this point just telling the "insiders" how much their vehicle (as configured) is going to cost would be a massive step forward in customer service.Smart companies offer great deals to early adopters to get their cars out in view with enthusiastic buyers that serve a marketing function for them.
I visited the dealer the dealer and asked about the SC and mentioned my reservation. The salesperson didn't even know about the reservation process or if they will get allocation. He took my number and I haven't received a call since.You can get what you want. The dealer gets an allocation and places his order against that for the models and configs he wants.

I have to laugh at this!I visited the dealer the dealer and asked about the SC and mentioned my reservation. The salesperson didn't even know about the reservation process or if they will get allocation. He took my number and I haven't received a call since.
Thanks for the update. Hopefully in addition to pricing they have a build site like Ford where we play with all the options. Another thing I'm waiting for the owners manual to be released, you can often learn more from that because it tells you how all the features work.I did the same just got off the phone with concierge they expect dealers to have the test drive vehicles by mid August and pricing sometime around July 4th at the earliest
THIS! I always download the owners manuals for pretty much anything I'm looking to buy, from gadgets to cars. I know most people can't be bothered, buy how else are you going to find out about all the little details the YouTube reviewers will never touch on because they're trivial and less interesting than B-roll to most?Another thing I'm waiting for the owners manual to be released, you can often learn more from that because it tells you how all the features work.
