I needed to drive 5 hours to get one at a good price. And they were moving tones of that model though. The other places I went to also mentioned their EVs were moving very quickly, one I was looking at was bought within 2 days of listing. So this doesn't at all match with my experience. Maybe they're referring to the super expensive luxury EVs rather than lower price ones?

Or, hear me out.... they are lying. The dealerships are just lying liars and are lying. Because that's what liars do.

There was just an article (or a couple) the other week about how dealerships are intentionally pushing people to ICE vehicles and lying about EVs anyway they can. I think in one example a sales person told a customer looking at EVs that they can only go 25 MPH or something lmao
