Hyundai tells me there are dozens of Ioniqs available within 25 miles of me at a couple different dealers, and my local VW dealer appears to have several ID4s in stock.
A lot of modern western capitalism mirrors whatever the hell we had in the eastern bloc, with the caveat that neither the US nor the EU are 20-40 years after the greatest, most destructive war in their history.
The prices for vehicles from the other makes are absolutely insane for anything comparable.
I really, really like the design of the F-150 Lightning. If I could get it with 300 miles of range, rapidly recharge it on a trip and get it used for somewhere in the $40-60k range I'd probably get one.
As it stands, it's closer to 200 miles of range for $80-90k without the ability to rapid recharge (that I have seen).
Potential is there, but efficiency of production is not. Especially when they're publicly saying they still lose thousands on each one sold.
My family waited for 2 years on a Lada in the 1980s.
