The real waste of space is generally the ocean of parking that dwarfs the mall itself.

I wonder if there was an analysis of demand of parking space or if it was always at significant undercapacity

"Significant undercapacity" means that people don't leave when they can't immediately find a parking space (modulo maybe right before Christmas). Yes, I'm sure it's analyzed. Also adding space retroactively (especially in the form of parking garages that a lot of people don't really like) can be expensive.
