    No demand. Of course. Demand exists precisely as far as the price list allows it. They’ll sell you a hybrid V8, sold out before it’s built, then “discover” electric demand in 2032 when the regulators stop asking nicely. Then it’s a limited edition, triple the price, allocation only. Demand is a marketing department with a deadline.
