No? The website has units available here[0] in the US. I think this article is old. There must have been a very small first shipment that got sold out before the next batch came in
"Sold out" is mostly meaningless if we don't know the inventory they moved. Perhaps 5,000 units have rolled off the line over the last week and those all sold. Or maybe 200,000 sold out in one day. We simply don't know what it means to sell out.
My guess is they could sell low double digit thousands per month, in which case selling out temporarily in some regions is an entirely meaningless measure hardly worth an article or even a tweet.

No-one knows how many they had in stock. It might have been 6.
TL;DR: Scalpers doing scalper things.
Yeah, but the fact scalpers can immediately turn around and easily sell it for 1k on eBay doesn't detract from the point.
