Really? Evidence suggests otherwise.

Hyundai Kona Electric: huge backorders, yet they only made 2000 of them in February. https://insideevs.com/news/343420/hyundai-kona-electric-prod...

Audi eTron: 2019 production targets lowered 20% to 45K/year. https://www.electrive.com/2019/04/23/audi-revises-production...

Jaguar seems to be doing OK with the iPace, but they only sold 1400 of them in February, and of course Jaguar as a car company is a similar size to Tesla.

I'd say in general terms including conventional vehicles and not only EVs.

That's what I meant.
