I tried to buy the Mercedes EQS with that feature. All the dealers had a $50k markup , you had to wait months for delivery and most of the cool features in their marketing were not available due to parts shortages.

So call me skeptical…

Skeptical? Because it’s so popular that it’s very hard to get?

popular would mean at least 100k-1mil. is this mercedes really popular like this?

Tesla's sell at 100k - 1 mil mark up?

I think they mean 100k to 1 million units sold

Okay so 10%, assuming one million unit roughly, of what the likes of Toyota, VW and others build every single year across their models.

When it's an "extremely sold out" kind of popular, that can definitely be a reason for skepticism. It's easy to sell out if you barely make any, and when it comes to halo products with significant flaws you want it to be sold out.
