They say they are sold out for years, yet people are getting them and very quickly.

I ordered an eTransit basically Jan.1/2023 and was told to expect 2-3 years.. they just told me it was being produced and I would get it by April! Wtf?? I had to cancel because I just bought a Tesla and want to pay it off first.

CEO: Inflation, eh?... Raise prices!

Rep: But sir-
