I think it is mostly the Austin ramp up (now 1000+ cars a day) but may be some people trying to put orders on hold for US tax credit?? Although seems too early to be putting an order on hold.I ordered a Model Y about a week ago (pearl white, 19’’ Gemini wheels, black interior, five seats, FSD, and nothing else), and what happened next seems really odd to me...
The estimated delivery time frames have radically changed in a very short period of time per the Tesla app:
I expected some fluctuation over time, but these are major changes in just one week! Any ideas on what's behind this? Maybe huge production ramp at the Austin factory? Some supply chain issue suddenly resolved -- like battery 4680 battery production or other components? Other reasons?
- On 8/24 when I placed the order, it was March - July 2023 (7 - 11 months out).
- On 8/30 it changed to March 7 - May 2, 2023 (7 - 9 months out).
- On 9/1 it changed to "Dec 2022" (3 months out).
Also: I just visited the tesla.com website and configured the same order. It shows: "Est. Delivery: Dec 2022 - Apr 2023".
I haven't even heard much about Austin delivering AWD 4680 cars lately...not sure how many they are producing....forum chatter has died off about those. They are pumping out the MYLR 2170 cars though.
