If they can't sell it, then they'll lower prices and people will be able to buy them.
I doubt the profits are so hard to come up with considering the wild CEO pay and record profits everyone's bragging about.

Yeah lol... Why curb supply to artificially keep prices high? Sounds like a antitrust issue.
We can keep producing mass amounts of EV’s; we’ll just store them all in caves in middle America.
.
Well today is a sellers market! A war in the gulf, Operation Epstein Fury, is just what the public needs to make EVs more affordable and attractive.
I would have bought a plug in electric, but my apartment didn't like the idea of me throwing extension cords out my second story window.
Even with an outlet who wants to slow charge a plug-in EV? The infrastructure isn't there and the cars are too expensive.
Most people who have an EV now are slow charging at home daily. And seldom need to use a public charger for their daily driving because of that daily overnight slow charging.
Where I'm at, most people with an EV are getting priority parking at the grocery store, workplace, and shopping centers, charging while while they work or shop, and never think much about charging at all unless they're taking a road trip.
No one expects they should be able to install a gas station in their backyard to buy an ICE vehicle. The issue is infrastructure.
EVs require much less maintenance...dealers make much of their money from... maintenance! So they mark up the sale price to compensate for their lost revenue.
The solution is selling cars without dealerships, but our helpful state legislatures have made that illegal in many states.
And you need a safe place to charge it. Like a garage. I can't afford a house so why would I buy a Nissan leaf (any cheap ev)? I can't just run an extention cord out an open window. I also can't just leave a wireless ground pad charger plugged in unattended outside. It's all linked, nothing happens in a bubble.
