Demand is outpacing supply for almost every auto manufacturer right now.

Competition has the same problem, I guess.

I m wondering, Is this also true if we only look at EVs?

Yes, look at Mercedes and Hyundai numbers.

If they increased prices, they would stop being supply-limited.

They seem keep doing just that.

They tried about 30 times in 2021. What actually happens is quite interesting.

Ironically, when they increase the price, it encourages more reservations as consumers seek to lock in the current price of an appreciating value.
