      I assume you’re probably thinking of all the “pre orders” they supposedly had. However, the take rate of zero-commitment “pre-orders” from 5 years ago for a product that was 50% cheaper with significantly better specs has been pretty low, especially given that far better vehicles have become available since it was announced.

        The sales exceed the preorders. The current numbers projected to the year, they will sell like 23k in 2024. it’s not a lot. But for a lux car in this price class it’s not bad at all.

      How many recalls has it’s (checks notes) roughly 11,000 total units had? Looks like four, lol. Banging success.
