Not gonna happen until battery prices come wayyyy down.

One would expect increasing the number of cars sold should drive economies of scale nine manufacturing.

To an extent, yes. But at this point there's a production shortage and they can't even make enough as it is. So it would actually cost MORE money to increase supply.

Presumably increasing demand should lead to ramping up of production over time, as it has in the past for pretty much everything

Yes, "over time". Now is not that time.
