It’s true but a bit pointless. GM isn’t building a lot of Bolts because there aren’t that many buyers for them. If demand suddenly spiked to a million cars a year, they could probably ramp up to meet that demand fairly quickly. Tesla is ramping up pretty quickly too, though. I think the main difference is that Tesla is being watched by everybody and they’re getting production cars out early. When GM takes some time to ramp up production, people mostly don’t notice or don’t care. For one example I was personally interested in, the plug-in hybrid version of Mitsubishi’s Outlander has had its US release delayed five years due to production constraints. I think it might finally be available, judging from their web site. I really wanted one back when it was supposed to come out in 2013, but in the intervening half decade I bout a Tesla, reserved another one, and no longer want to buy something that burns any gas.
