Anecdotal, but I've been trying to buy an EV for the last couple of days. I've been to 4 dealerships. As a first-order approximation, everyone's out of everything. Around here, seems like someone could win just by having inventory. As if that were possible.
Yet I see new model stuff all over the roads where I am, despite cursory searching feeling similarly futile. Did these people have great foresight, pay out the nose, both, or …?
Both - car dealerships are accepting pre-orders, but some of them basically run an auction. With some luck, you can find something you want without paying too much.
