He probably means there's no consumer demand without massive government subsidies as in Norway.

I would give him the benefit of a doubt to have access to advanced, internal statistics. I believe him.

There is a solid interest in elektric cars. Even the old i3 is difficult to get by. I have quite some colleagues, who drive 3 series BMWs as company cars, who would like a BMW electric car. Of course they are eyeing the Model 3 instead now.

Amazing that this comment is downvoted, truly amazing.
