Two things:

The demand for the semi-premium model outweighed the standard by 6 to 1, so no, the demand is right where the new obvious entry model is.

It is still technically available, but not in any obvious way (if you weren’t to already know, it’d be fair enough to assume it wasn’t available anymore).

That’s because they called literally every SR purchaser and hard sold them to get SR+; and said SR was many months away from delivery.

That was part of it, but also an extra $2,500 for 20 miles more range and a much nicer car was a very appealing offer. I certainly would have taken it.
