They're completely unaware of what people actually want because they live in their own circleyurk echo chamber. The numbers for soulless commuters like the RAV4 says America wants efficient commuters, you make a cool soulful commuter like the Mav and it blows the market over. Nobody is surprised...
Had the same problem last week, motorcycle/work friend snagged a AWD XLT off the lot and brought it to work to let me drive. Almost made me wish I hadn't got the hybrid.
My lady and I were looking at building an ultralight teardrop out of 2x2s, foam insulation, and PMF. I may post pics here or a vid on youtube by the end of summer. There's a lot of good source material on youtube for building too.
My lar lux hybrid was built the 8th and shipped on the 11th of march. Called the dealer on the 12th to get a railcar number and He expects it before April 2nd based of the mavericks he has gotten in from allocation already. Fingers crossed.
