This has been the opposite of my experience. To put it simply, 45e demand has been crazy. No one had anything in inventory, and trying to negotiate the price down was nearly impossible because they could just sell it to someone else for MSRP.

In terms of why it's 0.9%, I can only guess, but maybe BMW wants to incentivize the 45e in order to help meet emissions standards. Only BMW has an idea of what the incremental demand going from 1.9% to 0.9% is (which in itself is a super oversimplification of why there's a difference), but perhaps it's worth it. But this is just me saying things, no idea if there's any truth to it.
