I think they know what they are doing. Another thing is, a lot of people like myself in northern locations are not worried about getting their new Vett until next spring, which means late April for me, so I'm not putting my order in until February.
Well, yeah, for sure demand tapers off when you know you have to wait six months to get your car....I doubt there would have even been a high initial demand had this intentional slow production been known from the beginning...Customers will go buy something else...., then that will make Juechter look like a genius....after all, he's seen it, done it before....
