I test drove one, liked it, had no intention to buy but asked what it would take to get one.

The answer was wait a long time since they’re sold out. Obviously someone wants them.

But they didn't sell out. There were storage lots in Florida full of them. Were they falsely claiming demand and hiding away their stock?

The article says they sold about 12,000 in the first 3 quarters of this years. That’s about 1 per 30,000 Americans.

With numbers that small, any vagary of demand can lead to lots full of unsold vehicles or waiting lists.

Was that RIGHT after they got released? Or later on?
