That implies not many cars are actually available for many citizens despite the demand.
Well, don’t quote me on that, but I am pretty sure that the average soviet citizen couldn’t get a tank neither. In fact, it still was propably easier for them to get their hands on a car than on a tank.
A country could be producing millions of tanks and zero cars, it still doesn’t make tanks something the general public would buy. I don’t know the truth of this cars vs tanks discussion, but this specific argument definitely doesn’t hold up
