There are reports that those in the UK that can't find one on the lot and want to order one, their delivery dates are like 5-months off. They have something like 10K orders, and at 70/day, that's nearly 5-months, and they have not been in production that long. It doesn't sound like it's a demand thing...much more likely ironing out the production process to ensure high quality. Nothing is worse than putting out a fault laden product at product introduction, so prudent path is to take it slowly. On a line that is well established, while every vehicle gets an inspection, and one in a bunch gets a more thorough one, when new, each gets more checks until the process is totally vetted.
