I understand where you're coming from, but I want mine fully loaded and I don't mind the wait. I plan for this to (finally) be the car I don't itch to be rid of after 3 or 4 years so I want all the hardware available for it. The rest should be software updates.I had a MB EQS SUV with the HUD and it was only so so. My Gravity w/o the HUD provides sufficient information on just the dashboard displays makes the HUD to be redundant. Don't waste your money and delay in getting your really great car w/o the HUD much faster.
