I wouldn’t be surprised if this is reflective of a slow ramp.
A big part of the concern is likely the used market being able to satisfy two prospective customers for each example they sell, whereas this approach lets them have some controlled scarcity in case demand doesn’t meet expectations - you can maintain your supply below your demand levels more easily if there’s no used market for the first 12 months, and therefore publicise long wait times and “popularity” of the model.
