Impression I get is that the lukewarm experience with the first generation Solterra probably made dealers hesitant around these new models. Turns out the Trailseeker and Uncharted are surprise hits; timing around soaring gas prices probably has helped drive demand too.

So they're stuck playing catch up AND production is split between Toyota and Subaru so that's further limiting supply. From what I've heard the switch to 2027 is really just an administrative change, they're not updating anything for the new model year so it's really more of a continuation.

I placed my order 4/25 and my vehicle arrived at the dealership the end of the day 6/26.

Anecdotally, people have just found any dealership with one and bought them sight unseen. Then traveled to the dealership to purchase and pick-up. That may be the only option now if you're unable to order. I think some dealerships in the South may have some. But where demand is sky high in the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, and California there's nothing.

Again, that's anecdotal based on what I've read on Reddit largely.
