Turns out when nobody has any money, spending 30+ grand on a new car isn’t at the top of anyone’s priority list.

30? I wish! It's more like 60+ for one of their EVs.
Yeah no shit. They never learn if you don't pay the lowest workers a living wage then they can't buy your goods and you go out of business. 40 plus years of Reganomic and they still don't learn.
Maybe they should train their dealerships to fucking sell them. Many outright refuse.
NY Times did a piece on this recently.
A lot of it has to do with how the incentives are structured. Americans can get a tax break on EVs that were made with a certain percentage of parts manufactured in the US. Many models don’t qualify yet because manufacturers haven’t got their supply chains completely oriented around the incentives such that they meet those percentages. On the other hand, the incentives are pushing manufacturers to increase EV supply. However, there isn’t the demand there yet to meet it due to lack of tax breaks.
Leased EVs on the other hand qualify for the tax break even without having a percentage of parts made in the US. And, there has been an uptick in leases for EVs. So, it may be fair to say that once the manufacturers start meeting US made parts quotas, we will see an increase in EV purchases as the tax breaks kick in. Supply is just a head of demand at this point.
There are other factors that will help too, like building out charging infrastructure, etc.
How do the tax rebates work on a lease?
No fucking shit demand didn’t meet their hopes, NOBODY HAS ANY GODDAMN MONEY
These elitist capitalist pigs are so fucking disconnected they don’t have a single clue what life is like for the rest
