Sportage HEV/PHEV Allocations and Wait Time

Anyone care to share how allocations work for the electrified Sportages?

I ordered one of each through a buddy who is a sales manager at a local dealership but it doesn’t look like they’ve gotten any yet. Meanwhile, a few other dealers have at least had trickles of allocations come through.

Did I order through the wrong dealership? I know the ‘orders’ aren’t actual orders, just assignments when allocations come through.

Also, anyone have a allocation tracker I can follow?

Depends on where you are. Here in Toronto, it's awful; I "ordered" an HEV SX last May. Still don't have a car.
- Mid West US. What sucks the most is there are tons of LX and EX Sportages sitting on lots unwanted. But Kia just isn’t shipping out many Prestige Versions.
  
  With gas prices being that volatile, people are looking at hybrids and plugin hybrids more and more (if you're still not comfortable going full electric). Add the shortages to the mix, and yeah.
I’d be interested in seeing an allocation tracker too, if it exists
