99 times out of 100, GFL getting an electric car from a dealer without a Eastern Bloc-like wait time.

My family waited for 2 years on a Lada in the 1980s.

A lot of modern western capitalism mirrors whatever the hell we had in the eastern bloc, with the caveat that neither the US nor the EU are 20-40 years after the greatest, most destructive war in their history.

Hyundai tells me there are dozens of Ioniqs available within 25 miles of me at a couple different dealers, and my local VW dealer appears to have several ID4s in stock.

My local dealer (only one within 150 km drivable radius) has 14 ID.4s in stock, but the inventory site says sold out for 2023.
