Yeah, I have never found “high demand” data to be particularly useful from companies that don’t sell direct to consumer.
Of course the higher trims are what’s in demand. Like you said, it’s in part because that’s all they’re making, but even for less constrained models, it’s because that’s all the dealership ordered, and most people don’t want to deal with the headache of ordering a specific configuration from the dealership.
I’m much more interested in these numbers from direct to consumer companies like Tesla, Rivian, and Polestar. Are people primarily buying the higher trims of their cars?
